From its inception the intention of TKS was to offer a truly world-class education. The school maintains a classroom ratio of one teacher for every 15 students in early education and one teacher to every 18 students in elementary and secondary.
The technology infrastructure of the school is sophisticated and wireless, incorporating a broad spectrum of equipment. All learning spaces are equipped with 21st century classroom tools such as an interactive whiteboard system and 1:1 computing environment.
TKS also offers a wide range of co-curricular activities. Some programs that have been developed include: Student Council, Model United Nations, choir, samba band, Boy and Girl Scouts, Green Team, yearbook, drama/musical, variety/talent shows, and sports teams such as soccer, basketball, cross country, badminton and swimming.
