KIS High School Activities
KIS is a boarding school with a full residential program of activities supplementing the integrated academic programs of KIS High School and IB Diplomas.
Traditionally KIS High School comprises grades 9 - 12. Many extracurricular high school activities are held in conjunction with Middle School since they share a single academic campus currently. Students participate in a variety of whole school, as well as specific High School events throughout the year.
1. Leadership activities
KIS takes the responsibility of developing leaders of the future seriously. For over 100 years students have been given a role in defining school culture and in extending their individual skills into peer leadership areas through programs in social experience, cultural field trips, community service and outdoor education.
KIS continues its membership of international bodies which focus on student leadership development such as Model United Nations, Global Youth Conference and the US based National Honor Society (NHS) and National Association of Student Councils (NASC).
