Kalinga
Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) has fast emerged
as a centre of excellence in the field of professional
education in India and abroad. Building up from a non-descript
beginning as an industrial training institute in 1992,
it has grown into a diversified educational conglomerate
offering academic programmes from kindergarten to post-doctorate
level. The institute, which has set a benchmark of quality
in professional education, attracts students from as many
as 20 countries across the globe. There are at present
11,000 students enrolled full-time into its various academic
programmes. Located in an idyllic setting in Bhubaneswar,
the most conducive for learning, the institute has eleven
sprawling wi-fi campuses.
KIIT has a successful track record in producing human
resources with cutting edge competencies to succeed in
the age of globalization. Schools have a vital role to
play in present time as it has become important to nurture
young minds from early on to prepare them to face challenges
of future. KIIT has established KiiT International School
to fulfill the gap of such institution in eastern India.
KiiT International School focuses on quality education
with human touch. A high teacher-student ratio of 1:8
and small class size of 16 students only make it possible
to provide personalized attention to each student.
KiiT International School offers the
best of national and international curriculum. While
CBSE is offered as the national curriculum, international
curriculum includes Cambridge International Primary
Programme (CIPP) at primary level and IGCSE of Cambridge
at middle and high school level. Each of two curriculums
is headed by highly qualified and experienced Principals,
who guide a competent team of teachers, drawn from different
countries, to deliver quality education. The CBSE curriculum
has students from all parts of the country, while the
IGCSE curriculum can have more than 300 international
students. The school, which presently offers education
from Kindergarten to Class IX level, has already been
affiliated by CBSE. The IGCSE affiliation is forthcoming
soon. While more than 150 foreign students will be enrolled
upto Class IX in international curriculum, students
from all parts of the country will also be joining in
the coming academic year. The fees is reasonable, and
is only a quarter of that charged by international boarding
schools in India offering similar facilities.
The school uniquely promotes the integration of academic
and co-curricular programmes, as well as the development
of the informal curriculum where students are encouraged
to build their personalities through learning and socio-cultural
interaction. It focuses on innovative practical learning
approaches, which make assimilation of lessons easy
and reduce the burden of school bags. The school has
established a huge science park with facilities for
more than 115 scientific experiments as a part of this
innovative pedagogy. Further, every year students go
on a national and an international study tour.
An enabling infrastructure is a prerequisite
for the quality education. Therefore, the very basic
concept education in KiiT International School is driven
towards giving the students an atmosphere in which they
can learn, think and create. The physical infrastructure
comprises of an independent, self-contained and wi-fi
campus which holds in its lap spacious air conditioned
classrooms with audio visual aids, activity based toys
and models, science park, golf course and swimming pool
with temperature control. The luxurious campus, at par
with a 5-Star hotel, also provides adequate facilities
for all indoor as well as outdoor games for the overall
development of the students. These include a multigym,
cricket, football, horse riding, table tennis, basket
ball, etc. The students' residence, which is also air
conditioned, serves hygienic Indian and international
cuisines. It is the first of its kind in the country
to serve only organic vegetables and has hired the hospitality
professionals to provide the best service.
While KIIT International School is a fully residential
boarding school, day boarding option is also available
to the children coming from nearby areas. The students
of the school also have a unique opportunity to pursue
prestigious courses of higher education offered by KIIT.
The school offers 10 percent
concession in fees to girl students. Further, there
is provision for full waiver of fees for five poor and
meritorious girl students.
