About KING
King School is home to courageous thinkers, the inquisitive, the explorers, the imaginative, and to those who seek to find their own path.
We unlock the power of wonder. It begins with students becoming agents in their own learning. When students explore, question, and make connections, and teachers create 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 has helped me pursue and explore new passions in numerous ways. Pursuing the global studies distinction, I did a research capstone project junior year that piqued my interest in the study of the world. With the competitive yet inclusive spirit of King athletics, I was able to compete in field hockey games and tournaments alongside close friends. King's wide variety of opportunities has allowed me to explore and find new interests in order to develop both academically and athletically.
