Tuition and FEES


King School delivers an unparalleled academic experience for our students as they prepare for the next stage of their lives – whether that is moving up grades and divisions or heading to college.

In planning the budget for each academic year, King School prioritizes the needs of our students. Revenue from tuition allows us to provide strong academic programs, competitive athletics, vibrant arts, and service opportunities. Tuition revenue also allows us to maintain and upgrade our facilities and remain competitive when hiring and retaining the most talented and dedicated faculty and staff.

We know that the cost of tuition in a school such as ours requires planning and commitment, and we assure you that your tuition dollars are invested wisely and in the service of our students.

A Culture of Giving

King School is a generous community with a strong tradition of philanthropy.

Parents, alumni, parents of alumni and friends enrich the life of the school in a multitude of ways by volunteering to serve on committees and events, and investing in King’s current and future programs through annual giving.

The primary way that all parents can partner with King is through the Annual Fund. Annual gifts to the Annual Fund support a variety of student-centered initiatives, faculty opportunities, and curricular enhancements, and allow us to maintain the aggressive pace that we set for ourselves as an educational institution that prides itself on the excellence of its program and the accomplishments of its students. It is our expectation that every King parent will make annual gifts to the Annual Fund. Last year, 97% of all parents and 100% of new parents made a vote of confidence in King through the Annual Fund.
