The Power of Wonder
At King, the smartest person in the room is not the one with all the answers but the one with all the questions.
Our students are the curious ones – the ones who aren’t afraid to ask why, to try something new, to get it wrong before they get it right.
Because if it wasn’t for curiosity, no one would have ever discovered that the earth is round. If it wasn’t for questions, we wouldn’t know that we can fly. If it wasn’t for exploration, we would never have reached the moon. Questions took us there.
We believe in the POWER OF WONDER.

The Power of Inquiry
It begins with students as agents in the learning experience. When students are exploring, reflecting, questioning, evaluating, making connections — and expert educators are creating and welcoming these moments of discovery — students are truly learning.
Every day students are engaging as curious thinkers, challenging their intellect, and building the skills needed to lead lives of ongoing inquiry.
