[1] KAS began with a student population of 11 children who received instruction on the veranda of a private home.

Within a short time, KAS rented its own quarters and in 1966, when enrollment had grown to 77 pupils, the school moved to a new site on Street No.

KAS is located approximately three miles south of downtown Khartoum, and is housed on its 10-acre campus in 21 buildings, which include 26 classrooms, a science laboratory, a library, two computer labs, art and music rooms, dedicated ESL facilities, a learning center, nurse's office, a covered quad used for plays and ceremonies, food kiosk, two large playing fields, a covered basketball court and grass volleyball fields, and an aquatic complex that includes a 25-meter swimming pool.

Membership in the Association is automatically conferred on the parents or guardians of children enrolled in the school.

The language of instruction is English and its core programs (Creative Curriculum, Eureka Math, etc.)

The school offers the following Advanced Placement (AP) courses: calculus, statistics, physics, chemistry, English literature, studio art, world history, economics, and psychology.

Additionally, KAS is a full member of the Africa International School Association (AISA).
