Parent Teacher Organization
At the International School of Kenya, community is built through relationships, shared experiences, and everyday acts of connection. The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) plays a central role in bringing families together, creating spaces where people feel welcomed, included, and engaged. Through events, volunteering, and shared initiatives, the PTO strengthens the bonds that make ISK feel like home.

PTO DUKA
PTO DUKA (Swahili word for "shop") is more than a school shop—it is a community space that connects ISK with local artisans and purpose-driven organizations.
Run by parent volunteers, DUKA offers thoughtfully selected Kenyan crafts and goods that support livelihoods and celebrate local creativity. It is a place where everyday purchases contribute to meaningful impact.
Friends of the Arts (FOTA)
FOTA is a parent-led initiative that brings creativity into the heart of the ISK community.
Through exhibitions, art events, and sales, FOTA showcases Kenyan and international artists, creating opportunities for students and families to engage with the arts in meaningful ways. It is a space where creativity becomes connection.
