KIS teachers put children first. We are committed to our students’ personal and academic success in the classroom and in the world. KIS teachers provide a variety of learning experiences for our learners, including planning for transdisciplinary units of inquiry and project based learning. KIS teachers collaborate, take initiative, and demonstrate knowledge of their content areas. KIS teachers are valued by administration, parents and students.
