From King School
King School unlocks the power of wonder. It begins with students becoming agents in their own learning. When students are exploring, questioning, making connections, — and teachers are creating these moments of discovery — students are truly learning. This is what King students experience at every grade level and in every discipline.
From the wide variety of active, immersive learning experiences to intentional efforts to reach each and every child, King students embrace learning in a diverse community where multiple backgrounds and perspectives are celebrated.
By the time they graduate, students didn’t just learn, they learned how to learn. King graduates leave school full of possibility – ready to succeed and better prepared to better the world.

King combines academic excellence with an amazing focus on the development of each child. The teachers are not just highly-educated themselves, but genuinely care about their students and inspire them to become curious and continue learning. At King, students do not just learn a fixed curriculum. They also learn to do research, present their findings, collaborate, help each other. They learn lifelong skills and kindness.
One needs to experience King in order to appreciate its true value. An outsider tends to look at the curriculum and compare it to public school, then tries to judge. King will do more and more and millions of times better. What is taught will be broader, deeper and more meaningful at King. The students will learn to think, explore and combine different disciplines so well that their skills will be unmatched. Every children in the nation will (hopefully) learn to read, write and do basic math. But King students will thrive - this is the big difference and great value!

When we first toured King School, it was clear that the school’s mission and strategic vision matched current best-practices in education. Research has unequivocally shown that having academic excellence as the central uniting principle translates into the best possible academic and social outcomes for students. Many schools claim that they are prioritizing academic excellence, but in practice, King was the only place walking the walk. After having been at King for several years now, we always tell private school-curious people that King faculty and staff show an unwavering commitment to helping students develop into strategic and enthusiastic learners. Our children have been challenged in supportive and nurturing ways, and they have been pushed out of their comfort zone in scaffolded ways. It has been nothing short of transformative. As our kids see it, their job at King is to be academically excellent and to embody the King virtues in pursuit of that. King School sets the standard.
