A little about KISC

When a few parents got together in the early 80s to discuss their children's high school education, they would never have imagined the flourishing KISC of today. Alan McIlhenny who was working in Nepal teaching maths in Pokhara was given the challenge of establishing a study centre that meant parents of high school children would no longer have to leave the mission field prematurely or send their children to boarding school. He researched the concept and wrote a PHD at the university of Surrey before returning to Nepal to establish KISC in 1987.

Their early vision was entrusted to God and from those humble beginnings; the ministry of KISC has been mightily blessed. Today our secondary and primary schools serve culturally diverse international students mainly from the mission community while our EQUIP Program serves teachers and schools across Nepal. In each area, we seek quality education for all while discovering and nurturing the gifts and abilities of individuals.

Judith Ellis the KISC CEO writes

Welcome to the KISC website. At KISC we are passionate to see lives transformed by the Holy Spirit so that as a comunity we can bless others. God's word says in Isaiah 61 v 1-3 “The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the  poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favour. And the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendour”.

At KISC we are passionate about:

• Growing mighty oaks.
• Knowing God is love and the Creator of the heavens and the earth.
• Recognizing we are made in the image of God; unique, creative, relational, rational, volitional, emotional and physical beings.
• Sharing the good news that all creation is redeemed from The Fall.
• Being a learning community.
• Participating in restoring God’s goodness in all nations.

We would love you to join us and be passionate about being transformed into a mighty oak of righteousness for the display of the Lord's splendour.
