What curriculum does KIS use?

• KIS implements the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program, beginning in preschool and running up through grade 5.
• Fall of 2010, KIS introduced our Middle School program, designed to continue with an inquiry-based program for grade 6-7.

What kind of textbooks does KIS provide for students?

• KIS does not issue textbooks to each student because the IB PYP philosophy believes that students learn best through authentic inquiry. While there is certainly a place in the curriculum for textbooks and workbooks, KIS uses a wide range of resources that best cater to our students’ individual needs and learning styles.
• The IB PYP also recognizes that it is not knowledge alone that makes a learner successful, but the skills and attitudes they develop along the way.
