3 WORDS ABOUT KIS
At KIS, learning is about more than academics.
A genuinely multicultural international school, our students and staff come from over 20 countries around the world, with roughly 40% of our students being expatriates. We promote international-mindedness and global awareness, while engaging locally to help our community in Almaty and across Kazakhstan.
KIS is a warm and welcoming community where everyone is valued, creating a family-like atmosphere with close partnerships between parents and the school. We have an active, supportive Parent-Teacher Association with a voice at board level, too.
English is the language of communication in the school, not only in the classroom, but also when socializing during breaks and around school.
Anything is possible with the right start.
