Sharpen Minds, Build Character, Foster Healthy Competition.

At Kitengela International School (KISC), we believe in nurturing intellectual curiosity beyond the classroom. The Interclass Chess League is a signature program that promotes strategic thinking, patience, discipline, and sportsmanship among our students.
