Khartoum American School, founded in 1957, is an international school in Khartoum, Sudan that teaches an American/International curriculum. The school is a full member of the Council of International Schools (CIS) and is accredited jointly through CIS and the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA).

While founded to offer education to the children of US diplomats in Khartoum, KAS later admitted students from the international community in Khartoum. As of 2016, 253 students from 44 countries were enrolled. The Early Childhood Center offers schooling to children from 3 years to 4 years of age (at the start of the school year) in preschool, and pre-kindergarten. The Elementary School encompasses kindergarten through grade 5. Middle School (grades 6–8) serves young adolescents and the High School division offers a college-preparatory education to students in grades 9–12.

Class size ranges from 3 to 23 students, with a couple of classes temporarily (2016) surpassing the 23 student limit.
