About this school
Korean International School (KIS) is a private, independent school in Sai Wan Ho. Its International Section opened in 1994 and offers a British-style academic education for the English-speaking community, open to students of any background. The section has more than 900 students from over 25 countries, and the school runs alongside a separate Korean Section on the same campus.
The all-through programme covers ages 4 to 18, from Reception to Year 13:
- Reception: the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC)
- Years 1-6: the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), as a Cambridge school
- Years 7-9: Cambridge and UK National Curriculum courses, with Cambridge Checkpoint exams in Year 9
- Years 10-11: Cambridge IGCSE
- Years 12-13: AS and A Levels from Cambridge and AQA
Classes are typically around 25 students. A Learning Support Department provides tiered in-class and pull-out help, and the Springboard Programme offers a 1-to-3 teacher ratio for neurodiverse learners with mild to moderate needs. Language options include Chinese, Korean, Spanish and ESL. The school has no debentures or capital levy and offers scholarships, school buses and lunches.
