We believe that, next to home, school is the most important place in a child’s life, shaping their future in ways that last a lifetime. With this belief at our core, we set out to create an environment where every child feels seen, heard, and valued—where they can truly thrive. This vision led to the founding of The AMI School, which has evolved over the past four decades. Building on this legacy and a shared passion for innovation, we welcomed Muzaffar Bukhari of VLC as a partner, which led to the launch of Kiva School in 2021. This collaboration marked a new chapter in our journey, one focused on aligning our educational approach with the rapidly changing world around us and ensuring that our children’s education remains relevant to new realities.

Kiva School reflects our commitment to providing a sustainable, meaningful education, especially during the early years. Inspired by the Finnish education system, the name Kiva, meaning “kind” and “nice,” aligns perfectly with our values of kindness, curiosity, and personal growth. Operating as part of the AMI family but with its own distinct identity, Kiva School carries the same logo in a fresh color palette. The tree symbolizes the strong roots that ground us, while the swallow soaring upwards represents the balance between solid foundations and creative exploration—values that guide everything we do.
