At King School, we believe that the earliest years of education set the foundation for a lifetime of curiosity, confidence, and discovery. The way children learn at this age — through play, exploration, and inquiry — shapes how they will approach learning for years to come.

We see young children as capable, competent learners who construct their understanding of the world through hands-on experiences, questions, and collaboration. 

Our Reggio-Emilia-inspired approach is a perfect fit for our Early Childhood program. We honor children's questions and ideas, encouraging them to take the lead in their learning. Instead of simply providing answers, our teachers create opportunities for children to explore, experiment, and discover for themselves. When learning is connected to children's natural interests, they develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a love for discovery that will stay with them throughout their academic journey and beyond.

At King, the Grades 1-4 program is all about sparking curiosity and encouraging students to explore, discover, and master the foundational skills they need. From day one, students are encouraged to ask questions, think critically, and collaborate with others in an interactive, hands-on environment.

They gain the confidence to tackle challenges and set their sights on big possibilities. What makes it all come together is our amazing faculty, who truly get to know each student. In a nurturing community, students feel comfortable taking risks, working together, and building the skills they need for a lifetime of learning and success.

Grade 5 students are the leaders of our Lower School! They hold elections and participate in student government. The program is designed to build on their growing confidence, independence, and sense of responsibility, setting them up for success in both academics and personal development. Grade 5 students work with subject-area experts in math, science, English, social studies, and more, while also focusing on developing strong executive function skills like organization and long-term planning. They help organize events, lead clubs, and act as role models.

With hands-on projects and activities such as the Philadelphia trip, capstone projects, and the lower school musical, students have plenty of opportunities to shine. As they move into Grade 6, they begin to seamlessly integrate into the middle school community, with dedicated mentoring and orientation that helps ease the transition to middle school. Grade 5 is an exciting year full of discovery, responsibility, and fun while preparing for the next chapter of the King adventure!
