Going Beyond The Classroom
Co-Curricular Activities
- Co–Curricular activities at KKIS are an integral part of the school curriculum which are in line with KKIS Mission, Vision and Values. These play a vital role in holistic development of a student and are significant for enriching students on an emotional, cognitive, physical, and social level. CCAs and Academics both complement each other to develop a well-rounded student with resilience, tenacity, confidence and perseverance, which prepare them to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
- At KKIS, we offer a wide array of CCAs (co-curricular activities) from Cooking without Fire to STEM activities, from Green Fingers to Origami and much more for the benefit of our students. This gives them an opportunity to explore diverse options and identify their interest and talents.
- KKIS strongly believes in providing experiential learning through their niche CCA which empowers students to apply their theoretical knowledge to practical endeavor in a multitude of settings beyond the classroom.
- CCA activities are carefully designed and a schedule for the same is prepared every month. These are conducted once a week for a duration of one hour in block periods. One CCA theme will be continued for four weeks with different activities of the same weekly. Students will explore the remaining CCA’s in the upcoming months as per the planned CCA schedule. This paves the way for the students to explore all the CCA options and identify where their passion lies.
- KKIS launched Premium Co-curricular activities (PCCAs) in the year 2019 which included niche CCA’s like Coding and Robotics, Pony Riding, Yoga Music to equip their students with the 21st-century competencies.
- Premium CCAS are conducted by qualified and skilled external instructors. In all, we ensure that our CCA’s focus on our learners reflecting on their experience of doing something in order to gain conceptual insight as well as practical experience in their areas of interest.

Designing Robotics & Coding Program @KKIS (Grade 3-8)
Robotics Designing is an exciting field for students to ‘create’ and ‘innovate’ using technology. Playing with a Robot and creating one makes a huge difference to child’s learning in the process. Students engage intensely in this engineering-based activity, where they ideate and brainstorm virtually to build Robots in real.
Coding is a basic literacy in the digital age, and it is important for students to understand and be able to work with technology around them. Having young minds learn coding at a young age prepares them for the future. Coding helps children with communication, creativity, math, writing, and confidence.
The introductory program will focus on introduction to coding and designing robotics through hands-on learning in a fun and friendly environment
Students will explore a range of robotic designing-based activities
Students will course through the basic mechanics, building structures & application robots, introduction to coding and simple circuit coding
One robotics take home kit for every child
Speak Up! Speech and Drama @KKIS (Grade 2-3)
This course is to provide our students with interactive lessons to empower them to develop as confident communicators. We know how important the 21st Century Skills are as our students are collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds.
We believe in nurturing our students to think critically and creatively and communicate clearly to present a message.
The curriculum writers have specially designed Speak Up! lessons for KKIS Students.
The focus in each lesson is to provide a language rich classroom environment so that your child can develop the essential communication skills that his/she will need in order to achieve success in the classroom and beyond. To make the lessons engaging, trainers teach skills according to a theme. Skills such as voice projection, clarity of speech, expression and tone of voice will be covered in the lessons.
Your child will learn how to actively listen to presentations and to develop coping strategies for overcoming any doubts he/she may have related to public speaking. Encouraging strong character development using a thematic approach, developing an appreciation of diversity.
Yoga for Kids @KKIS (Grade 1-8)
Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness that foster cooperation and compassion in young students. Students derive enormous benefits from yoga. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. When a child practices yoga and mindfulness, research says it has proven positive effect on her/his mind and overall wellbeing. Yoga provides training of mind and body to bring emotional balance. It helps children to listen inward to their bodies, feelings, and ideas. It is highly instrumental in calming the mind, relaxing the body completely and this in turn increase child’s productivity and responsiveness.
Introduction to basic yoga, Stretching exercises, Flexibility improvement, Improved concentration, Meditation
Age-appropriate Yoga postures, Yoga awareness for students and parents
Aviation Eaglets @KKIS (Grade 1-3)
A top-of-the-line aviation program to inspire the aviators of the future. Your child will cover science of flight through a well-developed pioneering STEM – Science Technology Engineering Mathematics methodology.
Lesson content will cover the timeline of flight from its EONs beginnings to its early pioneers, and concepts behind flight. The students shall also learn about the future of aircraft design, and they will take to the air with several drone practical flying lessons.
Practical activities will include kite/twirler flying, pressure rocket, parachute throwing, paper plane folding, magnus glider building, mini-drone flying – these are just some of the items used in the aviation kit provided for the students to bring back.
All lessons are byte sized for these budding aviators and will experiential in nature – staying true to the STEM methodology.
Drones Assembly @KKIS (Grade 4-8)
Learning Objectives:
- Drone Principles, Applications, and Safety Rules
- Introduction to Drone Programming – Navigation Coding
- How can we control multiple drones from one computer?
- What can we use to synchronize multiple drones?
- Synchronizing Attitude of Multiple Drones - How can we make sure all drones fly to same distance?
- Formation Flying with Visual Markers - How can we use visual markers to synchronize flight of multiple drones? How should we place the visual markers?
- Synchronized Light with Flights - How can we enhance our show with lights? How can we make sure all drones fly to same distance?
- How can we make drones oscillate up-down like wave with Math? Which command can we use?
- Coding a 5 drones light show - Where are the takeoff points? Where are the landing points? What does the drone need?
- Demonstration of the 5 drones light show.
