Kodaikanal International School

Welcome to Kodaikanal International School, a unique school with an extraordinary history and tradition spanning well over a hundred years!

Our keen focus on our students, commitment to quality and dedication to continuous improvement empowers our students to navigate through the challenges of life in order to achieve their true potential. Our greatest strength lies in our commitment to community – the crafting together of a shared vision. At the same time, our inordinate focus on the individual development of each student means that a KIS graduate leaves the school adaptive, adept and comfortable in the diverse, multicultural world of the 21st century. Our community comprises a strong management team, a supportive governing council, dedicated teachers and residential parents, hard-working support and operational staff, and, of course, a great group of students that make all our efforts supremely worthwhile. Each student enjoys the opportunity of multiple points of contact with staff and teachers. This also allows for lifelong connections that extend way beyond their life at school.

Mission

‘‘Kodaikanal International School (KIS) is committed to empowering young people from diverse backgrounds with vision, knowledge, compassion and cross-cultural understanding. We are a community that welcomes everyone and seeks our purpose in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.’’
