A few years ago, KIS student support teachers proposed co-teaching classes, a natural next step. Already, student support teachers worked with individual students and small groups to provide universal, targeted, and intensive support – running math and literacy labs or joining classes to better support students with learning support plans. These approaches continue to benefit students. But as classroom and student support teachers explored best practices, the idea of co-teaching came up. 

KIS is proud of its AP program. With nearly thirty advanced placement options, the majority of KIS high school students take at least one AP course. This spring, 324 students sat for a total of 824 AP exams. High school associate principal Brian Voeller believes that the rigor of AP classes provides students with the opportunity to push themselves in a variety of subjects.
