Programs:
All KAIS International School students start each day in Oral Journal, a school-wide seminar that explores modes of communication through various media. Students learn oral presentation skills, debate, speech, reading aloud, and ways to incorporate technology into effective oral communication and speaking. This unique program allows students to build and strengthen social ties and friendships, while cementing the skills necessary to communicate. In addition, all students enrolled at KAIS International School take our English Intensive seminars. These writing-level-based small classes alternate daily between Vocabulary Workshop and Writing Seminar, both superlative programs designed to help your student succeed in important English skills far beyond the basic curriculum.
KAIS Core Program:
The KAIS Core Program is a fully-accredited American junior high and high school diploma-granting curriculum, geared toward all students regardless of ability. Students with a below-grade-level English ab
ility or learning difficulties, although have the motivation to learn, will be fully supported at KAIS in their academic goals of graduation. Upon acceptance into KAIS, students and their parents will create a learning contract with their educational goals with our staff, and decide the duration and focus of their secondary education. Students enrolled in the KAIS Program undertake a full junior or senior high school schedule, including KAISｹs own intensive personalized English curriculum. These classes are a mixture of lab-based individualized teacher-guided study, and our daily seminars which alternate daily between Vocabulary Workshop and Writing Seminar. We create high school graduates who are effective writers, verbose speakers, and respected members of the international community. Our programs are designed to prepare students for the schedule and academic scope of university life.
Curriculum:
KAIS's curriculum is supplemented by specialized programs specifically designed for students who want to reach beyond their potential and who may want to attend university abroad: SAT, TOEFL and STEP TEST preparation classes, specialized writing program, College Admissions Essay workshops, and a wide range of developmental and honors (advanced) classes. KAIS integrates technology into all our programs and our students design their own creative classes.
