Principal's Message
Ms. Shuchi Shukla
Principal, Kanakia International School - IB, Chembur
Kanakia International School is a community that fosters creativity by allowing students to explore their latent talents and draw from each other’s academic and co-curricular passions. We provide the perfect springboard for our students to emerge as principled, balanced, knowledgeable, caring, inquirers, thinkers, communicators, open minded, risk-takers, and reflective-learners who are ready to face the world!
IB Curriculum at Kanakia International School
The IB board at Kanakia International School offers four challenging and top-notch educational programmes to accommodate the board’s worldwide community of schools. These four programmes include the primary year programme, middle year programme, diploma programme, and career-related programme.
Early Year Programme (PYP)
(Age: 3 to 6 years)
Lay the foundation for your child’s lifelong love of learning. Our early year learning or pre-primary curriculum is specially designed for young explorers aged 3-6 years. This critical phase of education sets the stage for future academic success, social skills, and emotional intelligence.
Primary Year Programme (PYP)
(Age: 6 to 12 years)
Primary year programme or PYP lays the stepping stone for your child’s lifelong learning journey. This programme aims to develop caring and culturally aware individuals who actively participate in learning. IB-PYP is an inquiry based programme that promotes a curious and transdisciplinary curriculum framework to build conceptual understanding in young learners. The PYP students take initiative, responsibility, and leadership of their own learning, this develops knowledge, clears concepts, and fosters skills. Fostering the same philosophy, Kanakia International School aims at embedding values of self learning, independence, and collaboration through our articulately developed curriculum.
Middle Year Programme (MYP)
(Age: 11 to 16 years)
The middle year programme or MYP builds a firm academic foundation that aims at developing children’s confidence in managing their learning. Students learn to make correlations between their classroom learning and the real world during this programme. IB’s MYP is a challenging framework that aims at making practical connections between the real world and the IB curriculum. The MYP is a five-year programme comprising eight subject groups that aim to provide balanced education for early adolescents.
International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE)
(Age: 14 to 16 years)
The upper secondary years are a defining phase in a student’s educational journey. At Kanakia International School, we believe this stage should do more than prepare students for examinations—it should equip them with the skills, confidence, and global outlook needed to succeed in university and beyond.
This is where the Cambridge IGCSE Upper Secondary Programme truly stands apart. While national curricula such as CBSE and ICSE offer a strong academic base, Cambridge IGCSE provides an internationally benchmarked, skills focused education that prepares students for a rapidly changing world and serves as an excellent foundation for the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP).
Diploma Programme (IB-DP)
(Age: 16 to 19 years)
The diploma programme or IB-DP is a future-ready programme planned to build students’ curious minds and foster a desire to learn. This programme prepares learners to lead meaningful lives and excel in their careers. Students get to pick one subject from six different subject groups during the diploma programme.

Life at Kanakia International School
The Beatz Crew : The Music Club at Kanakia International School
“The Beatz Crew” is Kanakia International School’s dynamic musical ensemble of talented and passionate learners committed to bring a difference through art. The journey of this talented music ensemble started in March 2020, under the guidance of our school’s music teacher, Mr. Felix Hug.
The club has performed in events such as ‘VIRTUAL Youth Choir Festival’, ‘Younger than Springtime’ Youth Choir Festival at the St.Andrews auditorium in Bandra, February 2023’s performances at the world renowned ‘Mahindra Blues Festival’ held at the Mehboob Studios, and November 2023’s spectacular performance at ‘Mahindra Independence Rock Festival’ held at the Bayview Lawns. Besides, in 2023, the Crew’s ongoing collaborative initiative with the ‘Nanhi Kali foundation’ also earned its members an invite to share their journey at the renowned ‘Festival of Hope’, organized by the International Baccalaureate.
Kanakia Interact Club
The word ‘Interact’ in “Kanakia International Club”stands for ‘International Action’. The motto of the Interact Club is discovering the power of ‘Service above Self’. The main objective of this club is to promote international understanding and by representing numerous schools around the world. This club helps students become global citizens through participation in community service, and by teaching them to value and respect different cultures, opinions, beliefs, etc.
In April 2023, 74 students of grades 6-12 from our club had raised 21.54 Lakhs for the Happy School Project initiated by our parent club, Rotary Club of SOBO Mumbai.
The students of KIS(IB) participated in a Campaign with the NGO Cuddles Foundation, to provide Monthly Ration Baskets to children fighting cancer in Maharashtra – 16 students from grades 9-12 were taught crowdfunding skills. They raised a sum of Rs. 5,52,527. This sum will help provide monthly ration baskets for 10 children suffering from Cancer for one entire year.
Master Talk
Kanakia International School’s Master Talk series presents students with an interesting opportunity to interact with highly successful individuals across different professions. Through this initiative, young minds get a chance to converse with industry experts and masters. The club aims to widen students’ horizons with the help of real-life experiences shared by some of the most motivating and encouraging personalities.
In the past our students have interacted with some of the most famous personalities like Mr. Kapil Dev, Mr. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Mr. Rakesh Maria and Mr. Aaditya Thackeray.
KMUN - Kanakia Model United Nation
At Kanakia International School’s Model United Nations (KMUN), the club aims to foster creativity through innovative approaches in organising and executing the event. Our learner’s objective was to ensure that every aspect of KMUN was infused with creativity, from the selection of committee topics to the implementation of advanced technologies. This initiative sought to encourage participants to think critically and creatively about global issues, providing them with a platform to express their unique perspectives and develop innovative solutions.
To further elevate the MUN experience, learners incorporated cutting-edge technologies such as virtual reality simulations, interactive voting systems, and digital collaboration tools. These technologies provided a modern twist to traditional MUN activities, making the event more immersive and interactive. By integrating these tools, we aimed to create an environment that not only reflected the realities of contemporary international relations but also prepared students for the technological advancements shaping our world.

Kanakia International School’s zeal to provide the best to our learners has translated through various endeavours, such as the Kanakia Championship.
