At Kensington International School, we follow the British National Curriculum, adapted to suit our international context. We nurture the intellectual curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking skills of every child, recognising that each is unique with their own strengths and learning styles. Our rich and engaging curriculum meets the highest global academic standards and sparks joy and passion for learning.

Central to our approach is project-based learning, where children engage in hands-on, collaborative projects to explore real-world problems, apply knowledge, and develop essential skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. These projects allow students to delve deeply into topics of interest, make interdisciplinary connections, and take ownership of their learning journey.

While academic excellence is a priority, we also nurture the whole child through opportunities for physical activity, creative expression, and social-emotional learning. Our supportive and inclusive environment ensures students feel valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Our goal is to graduate well-rounded individuals proficient in core academic subjects and equipped with the skills, character traits, and mindset needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Through collaboration on projects, performing in school plays, or participating in community service, we instil a love of learning, a sense of empathy, and a commitment to making a positive difference.

We aim to provide an exciting journey of discovery, growth, and exploration, inspiring our children to dream big, think boldly, and become the leaders of tomorrow.
