ISK Vision
ISK Background
The International School of Kigali was formed by a group of parents with a common desire to establish an international school of excellence that would assist students and families residing in Kigali by delivering the highest standards of international education. Classes began on September 14, 2009 and ISK was officially born. Both inside and outside of Rwanda, ISK is quickly becoming recognized as an International School of the highest standards.
ISK Organization
The School is governed by a 5-member Board of Trustees, with four members elected from the International School of Kigali Association, and one member appointed by the US Ambassador to Rwanda. The Director of the School sits as an Ex-officio member of the Board. Membership in the Association is automatically conferred on the parents or guardians of the students enrolled in ISK.
ISK Student Body
The International School of Kigali is comprised a very diverse student body, representing 28 different nationalities. Approximately 25% are Americans, 20% are Dutch, while Rwandans comprise about 12% of the student body. The remaining students are from around the world, making ISK a truly International School.
ISK Faculty
In the 2010-2011 school year, there are 17 full-time faculty members, including 11 US citizens, 2 citizens of the UK, 1 Kenyan, 1 Ugandan, 1 Sri Lankan, and 1 Rwandan. Every member of the ISK team has been carefully selected, based on the appropriate certifications, experience, and personal qualities that create the positive, professional learning environment that is ISK.
