Immersive Learning Experiences
|
ACADEMICS Every aspect of the King experience prioritizes and optimizes engagement through an inquiry-based approach to learning — from the broad variety of immersive learning experiences to the intentional efforts to reach and engage every child at every developmental stage. |
Our educational philosophy is centered around developing the research skills students need to tackle real-life problems, and we know that true engagement leads to the highest level of individual student achievement. We encourage students to identify problems, ask complex questions, and seek solutions. In this process, students engage at the deepest level, draw from multiple disciplines, develop a range of skills, and establish a depth of knowledge. Students take on greater academic challenges and find the greatest opportunity for growth when they are discovering, exploring, and participating. |

Global Education
Discover a World of Learning
|
At King, we prepare students to become responsible global citizens. Our Global Education program provides them with the mindset, skills, and resources they need to engage actively and positively in the global community. Through an expansive and interdisciplinary PreK-12 curriculum, we strive to develop students' understanding of the world and their role in addressing ethical, cultural, socio-economic, political, scientific, ethnic, religious, and environmental issues. |
Our Global Education learning is rooted in inquiry and exploration. In the Lower School, students engage in culturally responsive teaching and project-based learning. For example, our Grade 2 students explore geometry through a global lens by studying how shapes found in art and architecture around the world convey meaning and reinforce cultural identity. Inspired by their research, students shared their own stories as they created models of homes, paper weaving, or mosaics. |
“As an educator, I am constantly asking myself: How can students achieve the deepest learning? How can we help our students learn in its truest form? I am referring to the kind of learning that sticks, learning that delivers skills and foundational knowledge but also creates a sense of meaning, confidence, and desire to take it to the next level.”
