The Board of Directors was granted the authority to appoint committees to manage the school, and various committees have been established and dissolved as the school progressed through the completion of its first and second phases of development. The most recent of these include the Building Committee, which oversaw the extension of facilities (completed in summer 2013), and the Fundraising Committee.

At KIS, there are two sections operating distinct curricula: the Korean Section, which follows the national curriculum set by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea, with its Principal appointed by the Ministry; and the International Section, which follows the Cambridge International Programme, led by an internationally appointed Principal and teaching staff. Both sections are open to all applicants residing in Hong Kong.

In light of this dual structure, the Board has appointed a Supervisor to lead the School Management Committee, whose members include the Principals of both sections as well as the Supervisor. Supporting the Board in both day-to-day administration and long-term planning, and overseeing matters that concern both sections, is the responsibility of the Chairman.
