From Our Student Community

Bhoomika, Class of 2024

When I joined KIS, I honestly didn’t anticipate the PROFOUND IMPACT it would have on me. The daily serene views were just the beginning. Paired with the robust IB programme, I’ve truly come into my own here. 

Juyong Class of 2025

At KIS, teachers really listen to us. They UNDERSTAND OUR STRENGHTS, and help us learn in our own way. Plus, there’s so much to do outside of class! With sports like basketball, football, badminton, and volleyball, we get to explore and developing our talents. It’s not just about the books here, we GROW AS INDIVIDUALS too.

Irina, Class of 2024

This is a school that prioritizes well-rounded development, offering many extra-curricular activities for every passion and interest. But it doesn’t stop there. KIS truly brings education to life with its adventure-filled hiking trips and a vibrant multicultural environment that fosters GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES. The friendships and cultural insights I’ve gained here are priceless. KIS is more than a school; it’s a TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY.
