As with the visual arts, the musical arts are integral to the IB Primary Years Program (PYP) at KIS. They are a powerful mode of communication through which students can explore and construct a sense of self and develop an understanding of the world around them.

The musical arts provide our students with opportunities and means to respond to their experiences and engage with historical, social, and cultural perspectives. The students are stimulated to understand expression of thoughts in new ways, and through a variety of media.
At KIS the general music curriculum offered provides every student the opportunity to create, perform and respond to music, and promote lifelong enjoyment and appreciation of music.  The music curriculum at KIS is integrated into the students Units of Inquiry when appropriate, helping to bring a well-rounded experience to our students through the musical arts.
