Vision:

We are a vibrant, non-profit, inclusive school
community where students are nurtured
to learn and grow through creative and
intellectual exploration. The Kimberley
Independent School provides high-quality
academic learning in an environment that
fosters positive relationships with peers and
community.

Mission Statement:

Our school community respects individuality
and holds creativity in high esteem; we
deliver an innovative educational experience
nurturing the wellbeing of our students.

Values and Philosophy:

We serve students and families in our community
from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 9. Our affordable
tuition ensures accessibility, thereby fostering
economic and social diversity within the school.

At KIS, students enjoy learning in small classes.
They flourish from individual attention and
interaction with their teachers, staff, classmates and
volunteers. KIS encourages a lifelong passion for
learning by listening to and attending to students’
needs and interests. Teachers and other school staff
build the students confidence by allowing them to
learn at their own pace.

The school strives to develop among students a sense
of responsibility and self-discipline through age-
appropriate guidance and authority. This builds
their awareness socially, emotionally, intellectually
and physically. The school environment facilitates
children learning to become responsible family and
community members. The intent of the school’s
philosophy is to lead students to understand that their
choices and contributions will influence the world,
thus teaching them to act with integrity, enthusiasm
and commitment.
