Curriculum planning
Korean International School (KIS) stands out as a leading international institution in Hong Kong, committed to delivering a British-style academic education specifically designed for the English-speaking community. The school’s curriculum is rooted in the National Curriculum for England, while also expanding beyond it to provide a holistic educational experience that integrates both local and global perspectives. KIS serves students aged 4 to 18, encompassing all educational stages from Reception through Year 13. This all-through structure ensures continuity in learning and development, fostering a strong sense of community among its diverse student body. The school emphasises academic excellence, personal responsibility, and the cultivation of transferable skills, preparing students for success in an increasingly interconnected world.
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
KIS’s curriculum is characterized by rigorous benchmarking and high transferability, making it widely recognized across the English-speaking world. This framework facilitates seamless transitions for students moving to and from British, British International, and English medium schools globally. The school emphasizes challenge, opportunity, and responsibility, fostering a culture where students are expected to commit to personal excellence, develop transferable skills, and cultivate a global outlook.
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
The Korean International School requires all students to enter external tests produced by Cambridge Assessment International Education at the end of Year 6, Year 9 and examinations in Year 11, Year 12 and Year 13.
