Learning at KINGS International School
Dear parents, carers, family members and friends,
A very warm Welcome to KINGS International School.
We are very proud of what has been achieved at KINGS International Primary and Preschools over the past year and especially during this unprecedented time. We would like to convey our heartfelt thanks to our existing parents and friends for their continued support. We have made good progress and it has been wonderful to receive so many positive comments from children, parents, carers and the local and the wider community.
About our School
Anyone with a jaded view of humanity should spend a day amongst the children and staff here at Kings International School. They would see the strength of human fellowship. It is a wonderful thing that we get to see every day. Children being caring friends, ignoring the boundaries that we adults sometimes perceive. This specialness provides KINGS children an experience, which we hope, will allow them to be decent citizens who can make a values-based contribution to our world. We are proud to celebrate all the wonderful children of KINGS International School and maybe follow in their example of a tolerant, respectful friendship to one another!
The principles of teaching and learning at the KINGS International School are to:
• Provide a high quality of education in a safe, healthy and encouraging learning environment, using modern constructivist learning methods and material, to assist children to reveal and develop the gifts and innate talents that they each possess.
• Provide a high standard of education in English, Burmese and Chinese to pupils so that they can have access to the wealth of information and variety of opportunities available today, so that they will develop the values, skills and knowledge to enable them to participate as citizens and leaders of their communities and in the affairs of the world
• Provide an awareness of internationalism, diversity of culture, religion and traditions and to show respect for the beliefs of all peoples of the planet
• Provide an education that inculcates critical thinking, reflection and independence in learning
• Respect all faiths and does not allow any propagation of a particular religion

“In the words of a child:
I hear and I forget.
I see and I may remember.
I do and I understand.”
