Welcome to where we "measure success, one happy learner, at a time”. Welcome to another member of the Learner’s World International Schools (LWIS) Network. Welcome to Khaled International Schools-KiS, Riyadh. Khaled International Schools, KiS – Riyadh are a community of learners, where education is child-focused and learner-centered. We do believe that every child/learner can learn and will learn differently to the best of his/her ability once properly guided, respected, and challenged. Founded in 1995 in Riyadh KSA, Khaled International Schools (American Curriculum Schools), cater to Saudi and non-Saudi children from Kindergarten through Grade 12. The schools’ renovated facilities house an independent Girls’ School Kindergarten to Grade 12 where the Preschool classes in the Girls’ School are co-educational while Grades 1, 2, and 3 boys are housed in independent classes in the Girls’ School. The facilities also accommodate an independent Boys’ School Grades 4 to 12. Both schools are under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and are members of the Learner’s World International Schools (LWIS) Network that is managed by School Development Consultants (SDC) – Lebanon. Khaled International Schools are fully accredited by AdvancED and envision becoming leading learner-centered hubs for digital and advanced education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We would like to welcome all parents and learners to a new school year. We hope that as the year progresses both parents and learners will get a deeper knowledge of the staff, the programs, and the policies we offer at Khaled International Schools. It is the goal of the staff at Khaled International Schools to work closely with the kis community to create a rich learning environment for all our learners. A learner’s success is a shared responsibility among the school staff, learners and parents. The academic year 2016- 2017 is a year of change this year we have planned to accentuate the Parents’ Committee body, for we believe parents’ involvement makes a real difference to children’s learning. It is our goal that KiS parents will work together with the school to face challenges and celebrate the diversity of our school’s community. Education is a joint venture between school and home. Thus, as we work with our learners to help them acquire knowledge and skills through the prescribed curriculum, we appreciate the support that parents will give to their children at home. At KiS we strongly recognize the importance of technology and work on integrating technology in all subject areas. At KiS we believe in partnership with the parents and parent involvement. We have an open-door policy that welcomes parents whose input is vital to our decision-making process. At KiS, as we all are learners, we recognize the wealth of talents around us and work solidly on empowering young and adult learners. We mobilize talents to enhance our faculty and staff. The KiS teacher/facilitator is key at our school. Our teachers know and are experienced in handling situations, have mastery of content and methods of effective instruction, and are life-long learners themselves. Because we all are learners at KiS, we promote induction programs, ongoing professional development, seminars, conferences, workshops, and any other high-quality staff development at school or in the community at large. The KiS teacher is involved in instructional leadership, curriculum development, strategic planning, program evaluation, team building, and personal growth. The KiS teacher understands the important role he/she plays in the lives of learners both as a teacher and as an adult figure in the learners’ formative years. At KiS we realize that building a community requires the amalgamation of all young and adult learners, academic and non-academic staff, administration, and parents. We are sincerely looking forward to the unique blend of the KiS family, a family that inspires rather than coerces. It is these beliefs that led the school to endorse the introduction of electronic beams and LCD projectors into most of our classrooms. It is these beliefs also that led us to endorse teacher training programs before the beginning of this academic year and every six weeks during the year. It is precisely this kind of training that will help us realize our objectives for this year and years to come. Our Early Childhood Program (ages 3-7), Preschool & Lower Elementary, is designed to offer our children a developmentally appropriate and stimulating experience in a safe and nurturing environment. It utilizes an integrated approach to learning that promotes intellectual, language, physical, social/emotional, and aesthetic development in all our young children. Through this program, we are committed to: Build on each child’s experience and knowledge to make learning meaningful and to develop a life-long enthusiasm for learning. Provide a stimulating educational environment with opportunities to learn in a variety of formal and informal contexts. Provide a safe and caring environment that encourages independence and curiosity thereby supporting the development of self-confidence. Integrate subjects in a meaningful way, giving opportunities to practice skills and concepts in real-life situations. Our Middle & Senior School programs are designed to allow our learners to develop into confident young adults, well prepared for college/university entrance and success. There are six broad objectives that we believe in for the Middle and Senior Section programs: Critical and Creative Thinking Communication Technology Integration Personal and Social Value Global Awareness and Understanding Independent Learning The Senior School is designed to provide ample opportunity for learners to develop the talents and interests of which they are aware and to discover and develop previously unrecognized ones. Our graduation requirements are designed to ensure that each KiS graduate is well prepared, both for college and for a lifetime of service and learning. They reflect our belief that learners become creative, reflective, open, disciplined, productive, compassionate, and passionate adults by engaging in a broad range of learning opportunities, both in and out of the classroom.
