Kingston International School (short: KIS, Chinese: 京斯敦國際學校) is a co-educational bilingual international school founded in 1996, located in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong.[1] The school comprises three main buildings: two primary school campuses, and a kindergarten (Kingston International Kindergarten).[2][3]

As of 2024, the school has around 260 total students[4][5] and its Head Principal is Eliza Wong.[2][6]

Curriculum

The school adopts the International Baccalaureate curriculum, with classes starting from K1 (Nursery) up to Primary 6.[2] As the first school to provide the IBPYP programme in Hong Kong,[7][8] it has been offering this child-centred inquiry approach for more than 20 years.[8] Kingston provides a gate-way to secondary school learning via their partnership with International College Hong Kong (ICHK); graduates of Kingston International School are promised a guaranteed spot in ICHK.[9][10] Kingston International School teaches in both English and Putonghua (Chinese).[10][11]

School uniform

The school's uniform consists of two forms for primary students, Winter and Summer. The summer uniform consists of a white buttoned collar shirt, short pants with a green and yellow grid pattern, and a sports uniform with a short-sleeved T-shirt based on the color of the student's house. The winter uniform consists of a blue long-sleeved buttoned collar shirt, long dark-gray pants, and a long-sleeved T-shirt based on the color of the student's house.[12]

House system

The school's houses are Green, Blue, Yellow, and Red.[12]
