In 2003, the school rebranded from Kesinee International school to KIS International School Bangkok, and embarked on its secondary school expansion plan, introducing the IB Middle Years Programme, along with a new secondary school facility built to suit the requirements of both the MYP and the IB Diploma programme. The school has a library, science laboratories, IT facilities, class rooms, study rooms and conference areas. The school had its first graduating class in 2010. Students graduate with an IB Diploma.

The school has over 800 students ranging from 2 ½ - 18 years of age with a student/teacher ratio of 8:1.
