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.

As an authorised IB World School, Raha International School proudly offers the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, and Diploma Programme. We are also accredited with the Council of International Schools.
Principal's Welcome
Welcome to our exciting community. We are delighted that you have chosen to join us and look forward to many years working in partnership with you.
As an International Baccalaureate (IB) school, we are committed to the IB mission, “developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through education that builds intercultural understanding and respect” and vision “develop learners who embrace a holistic education that engages them intellectually to become creative problem solvers and socially to become empathetic global citizens.”
Thank you
Kind regards,
Abigail Fishbourne
We hope that you will see and feel this in everything we do.
Our committed staff are aware of the privilege they have helping students to unlock their unique potential. By planning a range of opportunities for children to learn knowledge, develop skills, share their understanding and explore the world around them, our teachers enable students to explore interests whilst directing their own learning journeys. Each learning opportunity provides students with the chance to grow, develop and make connections.
At KCC our students are active members of our community who embrace their learning. Be it exploring the wonders of play in the EY, presenting research projects as part of the PYPx, taking part in our Service as Action international trips or choosing university destinations, each student will be encouraged and supported to broaden their horizons and exceed their expectations.
Finally, I encourage you to join the KCC community by taking part events, sharing your skills and helping shape our school as we grow and develop.
I look forward to getting to know you and your children over the next year as we work together to ensure our school community goes from strength to strength.
