125th Anniversary

For 125 years, Kodaikanal International School has shaped global citizens grounded in curiosity, compassion, and courage. From the quiet strength of the hillside to the vibrant paths our graduates now walk around the world, the KIS spirit continues to inspire generations.

As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we invite our alumni community to reconnect with each other, rediscover the magic of the hillside, and honor the legacy we all share. Whether you left last year or decades ago, this anniversary is as much yours as it is ours.

Join us as we celebrate 125 years of learning, growth, and the relationships that last a lifetime.

Events On The Hill

There’s nothing quite like being back on the hillside. As part of the 125th anniversary, KIS will host a series of special on-campus events that highlight the school’s legacy and showcase the campus as it thrives today.

The on-hill events are open to all alumni, with opportunities to engage with current students, faculty, and the wider KIS community.

Alumni Reunion Weekend 2026 - Recap

This year’s Alumni Weekend was a special celebration as we welcomed alumni back to campus to reconnect with friends, revisit familiar spaces, and share stories from across generations of KIS life.

Thank you to everyone who travelled from near and far to be part of the weekend. Your presence, energy, and memories helped make the celebration meaningful and reminded us of the enduring connections that define our community.

We are grateful to each of you for coming home to KIS and for continuing to keep our community alive wherever you are in the world.

Plan Your Milestone Reunion

Milestone reunions are a central part of Alumni Weekend, offering alumni the opportunity to reconnect with classmates and celebrate important anniversaries since graduation. Each year, we work closely with alumni celebrating milestone years to help bring their classes back together and make the weekend especially meaningful.

If your class is approaching a milestone reunion, we encourage you to begin planning early and reconnect with your classmates. The KIS alumni team is happy to support your efforts by helping share information, connect you with classmates, and coordinate activities during the weekend so your class can celebrate together.
