Recently met two different moms. Both with kids in KCIS and just transferred to other schools last year. According to them, KCIS is less like IS in some ways and more like LS (in terms of academics and teacher's demand/pressure/continuous testing, etc). I have friends who transferred to KCIS from LS, kids had no problem. But for parents who expect truly IS operation and atmosphere may find it otherwise.
I hv no opinions on whether it's good or bad. Just depends on what you are looking for. KCIS is thru train, yet one of my friends preferred to transfer her child to a school that is not (but a true IS with less HW, less demanding and less pressure from teachers). My other friend whose kids were from very typical high pressured LS adjusted extremely well, on the other hand.
E.g. I just bumped into a Singapore IS parent. One child in grade 6 and the other 2 or 3 years younger. Has been with SIS from the start. She is thinking about leaving coz always has exams, tests, etc going on. E.g. exam right after Xmas so they always spend Xmas holidays preparing for it. I do not know the detailed operation of KCIS, but from what I gathered (didn't ask for details - friends only said more high pressured compared to their existing schools), could be similar. If you are used to a local school environment or you actually prefer to have more pressure on the child, it is probably nothing. I couldnt take it not because of my kids, coz I personally can't take the pressure myself - since that would mean me doing their hw together and studying with them.
