College Counseling

KIS provides comprehensive careers and college placement counseling to all its students in grades 9, 10, 11 and 12.

The process begins in grade 9, where the importance of maintaining a good GPA and the impact of it on their college applications is stressed upon. In grade 10, group workshops based on personality, skills, values and interests are conducted. This is followed by a career-based psychometric test to validate their skills and interests. Students are met individually to discuss their results and choose subjects that they have an interest and aptitude for. At KIS we do not believe in discouraging students from opting for subjects of their choice solely based on their past performance. In fact, the school provides extra support to students in pursuing the stream they are passionate about. 

The school collaborates with an international college and career planning portal called MaiaLearning. This comprehensive platform is used by KIS students and their parents to discover careers and colleges that fit their profile and interests.
