CHAIRPERSON ADDRESS
The Kenya Association of International Schools (KAIS) is a membership association representing over 45 international schools in Kenya. KAIS has a significant footprint in the country, currently providing education to over 20,000 students hailing from Kenya, African diaspora, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas. KAIS is truly an international community of schools.
KAIS exists primarily to provide an advocacy linkage between the sector and the government, to promote best practice, to offer mutually agreed support services to members and to coordinate the identification and resolution of issues of mutual concern and importance to member schools.
Our goal is to promote and represent the best interests of international schools so as enable them to win recognition for their value and contribution as outstanding educators of children, as a thriving business sector and as an important component in the development of the country and the region.
Throughout our existence, the most defining features of the Association has been our determination to focus all of our activities on best serving our Member Schools; whether this be by advocacy and lobbying, providing continuous professional development for those in our ecosystem, elevation of teacher training or elevating child protection.
As educators we also recognize the need for wholistic education. To that end we are extremely supportive of sports and the performing arts.
It is our hope that the next ten years will see the association embed itself as a champion of quality education and the conduit through which the international school sector in Kenya takes its place as the leader on the continent.
