Forging Wisdom, Character & Cambridge Excellence.
Welcome to the interactive Kiettisack International School Handbook for Academic Year 2026–2027. For over three decades, KIS has united Lao and international students across five foundational domains: Moral, Intellectual, Aesthetic, Work Ethic, and Physical Training.
Welcome from Our School Leadership
“I extend a heartfelt and warm welcome to our returning students, new students and their parents. Your support and dedication are what makes our school grow and prosper. Over the past three decades, all our teaching approaches have been thoughtfully planned to forge a synthesis of academic content and skills development in all our educational practices, enabling our students to better meet the dynamics of a global work environment.”
“Based on Kiettisack International School’s goals, we aim to provide many skills to students from different nationalities who come together with unity and discipline, delivering them the knowledge which inspires them to be the best they can be. Our students diligently study the 5 domains of education: moral, intellectual, aesthetic, work ethic and physical training, giving honour to their teachers and parents and transforming them to be the leaders of the future.”
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” — Albert Einstein
“It is a high privilege for me to be able to welcome everyone to Kiettisack International School. Each year we are more and more astounded at the abilities of our students through their creativity and innovation, as well as the resourcefulness and adaptability of our teaching staff.”
“As a parent, you can be confident in the teams that will guide and educate your children across multiple subjects, preparing them to lead and develop the country after graduation from school and university. KIS will continue to bring new and exciting learning opportunities to our students through a variety of ever-increasing academic, cultural, and overseas study programs including partnering with other schools and educational institutions from across the world.”
“The doors to KIS are forever open for all parents to visit and discuss opportunities for each and every one of our family of children.”

From Nursery through Year 12, students grow in a warm, multicultural environment celebrating both Lao heritage and global citizenship.
Nurturing Early Foundations
Children in Nursery, Preschool, Kindergarten, and Preparatory learn through cooperative play, early English phonics, and caring mentorship.
Lao Heritage Meets Global Arts
Students master traditional Lao instruments (Lanard, Kim) and Lao dance alongside violins, keyboards, percussion, and foreign languages.
Hands-On STEM Robotics & Labs
Integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics robotics kits build logical programming and problem-solving from Year 6 to Year 12.
Interactive Daily Schedule & Morning Routine
Held every Monday morning and Friday afternoon. Pre-Primary & Primary/ESL Years 1–4 also have Morning Exercises daily.
