• KIS Preschool / Pre-K Program (for ages 3-4)
Preschool children are surrounded by the target language during playtime, lunchtime as well as class time. Our full-day English program offers a well-balanced preschool education, with both structured individual and group activities and fun play.

Preschoolers participate in a French immersion language program where they learn French through songs, fun, educational activities and play. Children also take part in French celebrations and public holidays with group projects.


• KIS Kindergarten Program
For children who are 5 and will be turning 6 within the calendar year.

Kindergarten is the preparatory class for KIS Primary School, and the focus is primarily on learning to read and write in English. Kindergarten students learn English through play, purposeful and artistic activities, puppet shows, storytelling, and more. The rewards of this play-based approach to school entry become evident when children enter first grade of elementary school.

Kindergarten students develop self-confidence and awareness of others, and lifelong capacities for creative thinking and enthusiasm for academic learning.

Kilittaşı Schools Preschool was created in order to expose children to a new language from a young age. This intensive French language immersion program is taught by native French speaking teachers, and Kilittaşı Schools preschoolers therefore learn French quickly by using it in every aspect of their day - including through songs, educational activities and fun play.
