Founded in September 2005, Korea International School (KIS) in Shenzhen welcomes a diverse community of students and teachers from over 28 countries and regions. This rich multicultural environment allows children to build lifelong friendships, gain cross-cultural understanding, and thrive in a truly international setting from an early age.

Mission: Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders
KIS dedicates itself to nurturing students and preparing them to become knowledgeable, integrity driven leaders in our interconnected world. Parents choose KIS because it focuses on holistic development, equipping children not just with academic skills, but with the character and confidence to make a positive impact globally.
The CIRCLE Core Values: Building Character That Lasts
At the heart of KIS lies the CIRCLE Values, a guiding framework that fosters lifelong learning, strong relationships, and compassionate leadership in our diverse community. These interconnected values form a “circle” to remind everyone that growth is continuous and empathy drives excellence:
- Curiosity – Encouraging children to explore new ideas with open, eager minds.
- Integrity – Teaching them to act with honesty and fairness in all they do.
- Respect – Valuing others’ differences and honoring each individual’s uniqueness.
- Compassion – Instilling care and support for one another.
- Leadership – Guiding students to lead responsibly and empathetically.
- Excellence – Inspiring them to strive for their personal best in everything.
“In our CIRCLE, every learner grows, every voice matters, and every act of kindness strengthens our community.” “Learning Together, Leading with Heart.” “Connected in Curiosity, Guided by Integrity.” “One CIRCLE-Many Cultures, One Heart.” “The Circle of Growth and Goodness.”

These values create a supportive, inclusive atmosphere where your child feels valued and empowered to shine.
A Tailored Curriculum for Global Success
KIS designs its curriculum specifically for its international students. It primarily follows a rigorous U.S.A based system, enriched with the best resources, materials, and teaching practices from South Korea, United Kingdom, Canada, and other leading international bodies.
Children engage in interactive, hands-on learning experiences both in the classroom and through off campus activities. This approach helps build a strong foundation of knowledge, logical thinking, intellectual confidence, and essential lifelong learning skills. Above all, KIS ignites a genuine, lasting love of learning in every student, preparing them for top universities worldwide and a bright future.
