King School celebrates the outstanding achievements of its fall athletes, who have earned prestigious recognition in the 2024 Fairchester Athletic Association (FAA) and New England Prep School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) postseason awards. The awards include league and all-star team selections across multiple sports, showcasing the strength of King’s athletic programs. Congratulations to all honorees—you make the Viking community proud!

Prior to Thanksgiving break, Grade 7 students shared compelling personal narratives with parents and peers as the culmination of an intensive eight-week storytelling project inspired by NPR’s “The Moth Radio Hour.” Guided by English teacher Jordan Rochelson, students explored small but meaningful moments from their lives, drawing connections to their study of the novel “The House on Mango Street” by Mexican-American author Sandra Cisneros. Through a rigorous process of brainstorming, drafting, revising, and receiving feedback from peers and Rochelson, students transformed initial ideas into richly detailed stories. The final event offered not only a platform to showcase their work but also an opportunity to practice public speaking and build connections within the King community, highlighting the power of storytelling to foster empathy and self-expression.

King School students are diving headfirst into the business and finance world, managing a $10,000 investment portfolio and learning entrepreneurial strategies through the school’s Business, Investment, and Women in Business Clubs. These student-driven initiatives blend classroom learning with real-world challenges, preparing young leaders for future success in entrepreneurship and finance.

King students brought the opulent world of 1920s Long Island to life with a vibrant production of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” blending drama, glamor, and the sparkling decadence of the Jazz Age. The school’s largest-ever production of 31 performers, 11 musicians, and a dedicated crew brought Fitzgerald’s iconic characters and timeless themes of ambition, love, and betrayal to life. Through compelling performances, students deepened their understanding of the novel’s rich, layered story, connecting classroom learning with the dazzling world of Gatsby’s lavish parties and tragic longing.

King Volleyball won its first-ever NEPSAC Class A title with a 3-0 sweep of Phillips Exeter Academy! The match, played at Taft School in Watertown on November 12, concluded another incredible season for the Vikings. The Fairchester Athletic Association (FAA) champion Vikings stayed perfect on the year at 21-0 and earned an incredible 9th straight New England Title across Class A, B, and C! 

The inaugural Founders' Cup is testing the competitive edge of middle school students, who are leveraging academic achievement, creativity, and teamwork to earn the coveted trophy.

King School's Grade 4 students recently experienced a powerful lesson in empathy and advocacy from alumnus Phillip Magalnick K’84 and his wife, Honorata Kazmierczak. Through engaging discussions and hands-on activities, they learned about living with vision loss, the importance of inclusion, and how disabilities don't define a person. The visit dovetailed with the classes’ current unit exploring people’s varying abilities.
