Academics
The Power of Inquiry
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 in students the research skills they need to tackle real-life problems, and we know that true engagement leads to the highest level of individual student achievement. Students take on greater academic challenges and find the greatest opportunity for growth when they are discovering, exploring, and participating.
This is what we do at King School at every grade level and in every discipline.
The King teaching methodology is guided by educational best practices and focused on strong relationships with faculty and mentors — creating a foundation for lifelong curiosity and purpose. This deeply engaging style of learning sets students up for their post-secondary goals. Just as importantly, it helps them to succeed when they get there – and it sets them up for a fulfilled and happy life beyond that.
