Admission

At King School, we frame education differently – welcoming curiosity and inquiry to drive real learning in a way that’s engaging and joyful.

For us, the Power of Wonder is a tribute to the courageous thinkers, the inquisitive, the explorers, the imaginative, and those who seek to find their own path.
 
Students PreK through Grade 12 are invested in their learning. When students are exploring, questioning, and making connections, and teachers are creating these moments of discovery, students are truly learning. 
 
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.
 
You can get an education anywhere, but at King, you leave with an unmistakable mindset you can’t get anywhere else. King graduates leave school full of possibilities — ready to succeed and better prepared to better the world.
