Founded in 1992, Kyiv International School plays a leading role in educating the city's expatriate, diplomatic and business communities. The school offers an English language, international school curriculum that focuses on academic rigor and college preparedness. Our purpose-built facility, professional staff, and educational philosophy foster a holistic academic program that helps all students to be successful in a rapidly changing global society. We have a vibrant and active school community committed to quality education and providing a variety of learning opportunities and experiences in and out of the classroom. The school’s rigorous academic program, combined with the mastery learning philosophy, aims to build a solid foundation for all students preparing for the high standards of the best colleges and universities around the world. Our teachers work closely with students to promote a growth mindset towards learning and education. A large part of this is making sure students are placed in their optimal zone of development, while exploring and analyzing the vast amount of information in the world around them. Students are very involved in the learning process and higher-order thinking and reflection are central to curriculum and instruction. Throughout it all, students, teachers, administrators, and parents all work together to monitor student progress, growth, and placement. Equal to the importance of academic learning is the significance of character development and emotional intelligence. We seek to educate all students in leadership, service, responsibility, global competence, and integrity. This is embedded in the school’s Success Orientations and school culture.
