KISC has renewed its accreditation with the Middle States Association: Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA, USA) for another seven years, effective April 2022, and is a Cambridge International Examinations (UK) centre and now recently with the British School Overseas (BSO).
The updated reports of our accreditation can be found here: Middle States Association (MSA) and British School Overseas (BSO).

Helps KISC to set priorities for improvement.
Offers a mechanism for all stakeholders to play a major role in determining KISC's future, helping KISC to be the best it can be.

Assures KISC's community that the school's purposes are appropriate and are being accomplished through a viable educational programme.
Provides an objective, third-party evaluation of a school's entire programme, services, resources and results based on professional standards.
