Our programs are built around a philosophy and commitment to applied learning.
At KIS our students apply what they learn - they transfer their knowledge and skills across subject areas as they work to solve real-world problems in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment.
We believe a supportive environment is essential to learning as students grow and navigate campus relationships, teaching one another, and learning together. We think each school day is an opportunity for fun and challenge as students engage with curricular content and extracurricular activities. We recognize our students are whole individuals with their own interests, ideas and hopes, and so our mission is to encourage each student to be more who they are, helping to identify and develop their strengths.

Students at KIS are guided by teachers who challenge them to achieve in an environment where creativity and inquiry are supported and celebrated.
We integrate art, music, and drama into our elementary school day, and provide strong curricular and extracurricular offerings at the middle and high school level.
Our sports program offers students choice and opportunity at all ages and levels. We value being involved and committed and emphasize sportsmanship and teamwork.
At KIS we extend our learning from the theoretical to the practical and believe that our best learning happens through curiosity, problem solving, and invention.

In one grade three classroom this month, teacher Nick Roy projected a photo of floor tile. “Where are we?” he asked. In the photo, ceiling lights reflected on the waxed tile and yellow tape marked an indoor recess game. Students laughed and answered, “Our hallway!”
This month grade eight social studies teacher Brian Devine introduced the Socratic seminar as a primary discussion format in his classroom. The student led seminar values all voices and develops academic autonomy.
Transitions are tough. At KIS, the Link Crew program structures a smooth move from middle school to high school. Grade ten, eleven, and twelve students mentor grade nine students through their first year in high school. Link leaders meet with grade nine advisory groups to create a community space foundational to the year ahead.
