The Importance of Being an IB and CIS School

At KCC, we are proud to be both an International Baccalaureate (IB) and a Council of International Schools (CIS) accredited institution. These prestigious affiliations not only elevate the quality of education we provide but also reinforce the values that define our school community.

Our guiding statements, closely aligned with the principles of the IB and CIS, emphasize the development of global learners who seek to foster peace, respect, and understanding in a diverse world. The IB nurtures students to be critical thinkers and compassionate individuals, while CIS strengthens our commitment to shaping a more peaceful and just global society through high standards of teaching, learning, and well-being.

The synergy between these guiding frameworks ensures that we are not just focused on academic excellence, but also on nurturing empathy, collaboration, and a sense of responsibility toward others. Our students are encouraged to embrace their roles as global citizens, actively engaging with the world in positive and meaningful ways.

By being a CIS-accredited school, we also benefit from a global network of best practices and support, all aimed at helping us achieve these shared goals. This accreditation ensures that we maintain a high level of educational standards, focusing on the well-being of every student while preparing them to thrive in an interconnected world.
