Founded in 1992, Kyiv International School (KIS) is an independent, non-profit, coeducational day school, which offers an educational program from PK (3-year-old class) through Secondary IV (17- year-old class) for students of all nationalities. School enrollment is approximately 687 students for the 2008-2009 school year, representing 50 nationalities. Our students come from the diplomatic, international business, and Ukrainian communities.
The academic program uses a Performance-Based/Mastery Learning approach to learning. This model insures mastery of specific skills and knowledge involving both individual and group instruction. The educational philosophy is founded upon the premises that: 1) All students can succeed, 2) Success breeds success, and 3) It is the responsibility of the School to provide the conditions for success. This is a tested, highly successful academic program.
 The School offers a performance-based, mastery-learning educational program with a curriculum similar to that of U.S. public and private schools. Instruction takes advantage of small class sizes and the diverse educational backgrounds of the students. KIS is an IB World School and offers the IB Diploma to students in grades 11 and 12. Advanced Placement classes are offered in the secondary program. Instruction is in English. Foreign languages offered at KIS include Ukrainian, Russian, Spanish, French, and German.
The School is governed by the Board of Directors of Quality Schools International, the membership of which is formed as set forth in the Bylaws of Quality Schools International. An Advisory Board, composed of 6 to 10 members who reside in Kyiv, assists the School in its operation. The School operates with the approval of the Ukrainian government
