Alumni

With a rich 67-year history, Kyoto International School (KIS) has nurtured generations of students who are now making their mark across the globe.


We love reconnecting with our alumni and often have the pleasure of welcoming former students back to campus when they visit Kyoto. Hearing their stories and memories reminds us of the lasting impact of the KIS community.


To strengthen our connection with alumni, we aim to host regular school reunions and encourage all former students to follow our official school social media accounts to stay updated on upcoming events and opportunities to reconnect.


Once a part of KIS, always a part of KIS—wherever life takes you, we look forward to staying connected!
