KIS was opened in 1998 as Kesinee International School, offering Kindergarten and Primary education, with the IB Primary Years Programme.

In 2003, the school rebranded from Kesinee International school to KIS, and embarked on its secondary school expansion plan, introducing the IB Middle Years Programme, along with a new secondary school facility built to suit the requirements of both the MYP and the IB Diploma programme. The school has a library, science laboratories, IT facilities, class rooms, study rooms and conference areas. The school had its first graduating class in 2010. Students graduate with an IB Diploma.
