Academics

Three curricula, one classroom

Cambridge rigour, the Montessori method, and the Kurdish national curriculum — taught together, not side by side.

3-Pillar Model

One curriculum, three traditions.

Our 3-pillar academic program weaves Cambridge International standards together with Montessori child-led discovery and Kurdistan's national curriculum. Each pillar reinforces the others — academic rigour, intrinsic motivation, and cultural identity.

From sensorial work in Nursery to Cambridge Checkpoint in Primary, every child progresses on a clear, evidence-led pathway designed to grow critical thinkers and lifelong learners.

Future Expansion

Growing towards Grade 12.

KIS adds a grade level each year. Primary 6 is the current ceiling; Secondary opens as the first cohort reaches it, so no family has to move their child to keep the same curriculum.

The campus was built for this. Science and arts studios, a library and the halls a secondary school needs are already in place, waiting for the year groups that will use them.
