UNIVERSITY

Counseling

At KIS, our College Counseling team begins working with students in Grade 10 and progressively increases their assistance and guidance through Grades 11 and 12. We employ a "personalized approach" that equips students with essential skills, knowledge, and awareness to help them make well-informed decisions about their future academic paths. Throughout the academic year, KIS hosts numerous visits from universities and colleges from around the world. During these visits, our students and families can gather information about course offerings, engage directly with university representatives, and explore the unique opportunities each institution provides.

At KIS, we believe in creating an immersive English environment that encourages natural language acquisition. Through interactive activities, engaging projects, and supportive instruction, students develop their English skills while building confidence and cultural awareness.

Kyoto International School offers a dynamic English immersion Programme every Saturday for children aged 3 to 12. Our Programme is designed to foster a love for the English language while developing crucial communication skills in a fun and engaging environment.

The Summer Camp at Kyoto International School (KIS) is a vibrant day program held during the summer break, welcoming both current KIS students and non-KIS participants. Each year, the camp features dynamic, hands-on activities centered around an engaging theme, ensuring a memorable and enriching experience.

Students engage in a variety of projects, crafts, physical activities, and outdoor adventures. For older participants, the program includes day trips to local attractions, enhancing their exploration of the annual theme while adding depth to their learning journey.

At Kyoto International School (KIS), we are dedicated to creating educational pathways that empower all students to thrive as global citizens. A cornerstone of this commitment is our focus on Educational Technology, which plays a vital role in fostering digital responsibility among our students.

The Kyoto International School library is designed to act as a whole-school space where vibrant and cooperative learning happens. 

Our library provides opportunities for literacy to be realized in varied ways. Literacy in our library manifests itself in varied ways, such as read-aloud, online or on-site research, fun reading, story plot analysis or just by sitting and reading a book.

Kyoto International School’s mission, in accordance with and in support of the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child (1990), along with the recommendations based on the International Task Force on Child Protection (2015), and also in conjunction with Japanese laws regarding Child Protection, defines the term “child” as people under the age of 18.

KIS Child Safeguarding Policy has been adopted and approved by the KIS Executive Board.
