With classes from kindergarten to grade 13, AKIS is a diverse community of students immersed in a strong learning culture.

AKIS opened its doors in September 1999, reaching its full complement of primary and secondary classes in 2006/07. A state of the art primary school was added in April 2010. Classrooms are usually limited to 25 students or less to ensure each child gets individual attention in every subject, and the normal working hours are from 7.00 am to 1.30 pm, Sunday through Thursday.
AKIS has recently embarked on a major organisational restructuring exercise and continues to develop and to grow with the community it serves.
