Kigali International Community School(KICS)is a co-educational school offering classes for students from 3 years old right through high school.
KICS operates on a September to July school calendar similar to the American educational system. When the new school year began in September 2007 enrollment increased to 75 students from 20 nationalities. Approximately one third of the student enrollment is Rwandan.
The current mix of students provides a wonderful melting pot of languages, cultures, and backgrounds. The families at KICS represent those from Christian missions, Non-government organizations, embassies, and the business community. Many families have found KICS to be a safe place to land in Rwanda with supportive community willing to thoroughly engage in Rwanda’s development.
KICS now is lead by Head Master Brian Dolinger. KICS has 6 full time American teachers with the rest of the staff needs being filled by part-time expatriates and full time teachers from Rwanda and Kenya. The school offers a lab with 20 computers and large library. Elective courses are offered in art, music, and physical education. Extra-curricula activities include student government, drama, and football (soccer.)
In order to meet the needs of the international community in Kigali KICS enrolls students from Pre-School to Secondary. The school day begins at 8:00 and ends at 3:00.
KICS recently received registration from Rwanda’s Ministry of Education. Currently it is pursuing accreditation from the Association of Christian Schools International and also Middle States Accrediting Agency in the United States
