TKIS is located in Kilmore, 58 kilometres north of

Recreational facilities, including golf, swimming, tennis,
soccer and a gymnasium, are well provided for on campus or

The school has around 400 students and offers: highly
qualified academic staff (25 of whom are IB examiners), small
class sizes, intensive evening tutorials, ESL support, careers
advice (university placement, SAT preparation and testing)

The Kilmore International School’s focus is on academic
achievement. Established in 1990, the school is proud to say
that 100% of our graduates have routinely obtained offers
from universities of their choice. Graduates are now studying
at or have completed degrees at the world’s leading tertiary
institutions including Yale and MIT in the United States,
Oxford, Cambridge, London School of Economics and
Imperial College in the United Kingdom and Australia’s top
Universities such as ANU, UNSW, The University of Sydney and
The University of Melbourne.
The TKIS class of 2010 has continued the tradition of
achieving outstanding outcomes in the International
Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Our average IB score for
2010 was 33, translating into an average ATAR (Australian
Tertiary Admissions Ranking) of 90.90%. These results placed
approximately 11% of our graduating class in the top 1% and
50% within the top 10% of all students in Australia. Two
students achieved the elusive ‘perfect score’ of 45 IB points.
Both from China, Lenny Li is now studying at Oxford University
and Elaine Chen is studying at Imperial College, London.
The Kilmore International School is extremely proud of its
graduate outcomes. Having sent students to the best universities
throughout the world and seen them go on to gain highly paid
employment in prestigious and demanding professions, we have
ample reason to believe in the strength of the IB programme and
the opportunities it provides for motivated students.
