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).

ACCREDITATION ENCOURAGES AND FACILITATES SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT BECAUSE IT:

• Requires KISC to establish and implement a yearly improvement plan based on its vision, mission and value statements.

• Regularly conducts an examination of the entire school – its community, philosophy and goals, programmes and services, facilities and its financial stability.

• 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.

ACCREDITATION PROVIDES A MEANS FOR PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY BECAUSE IT:

• 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.

• Engages KISC in a regular peer review process aimed at ensuring attention to a continuous improvement process.

• Validates for the public the integrity of KISC's programme and student transcripts.

ACCREDITATION ENSURES THAT KISC MEETS MSA'S INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS FOR SCHOOLS IN THE AREAS OF:

• Philosophy, mission, beliefs, and objectives planning

• Learning media services and technology finances

• Governance and leadership and organisational design of staff

• Staff and student life and services

• Educational programmes facilities
