What to Expect From a Private Education at King

• Students at the King School rise through 14 years of learning, education, and growth.
• Beginning in preschool and kindergarten, students progress through:
• Lower School (Elementary: PreKindergarten to Grade 5)
• Middle School (Grade 6 to Grade 8)
• Upper School (Grade 9 to Grade 12 High School)

King School immerses students from Westport, CT in a community where students become agents in their own learning.

When students are exploring, reflecting, questioning, evaluating, and making connections — and teachers are creating and guiding these moments of discovery — students are truly learning. This is what King calls inquiry-based learning, and it is what students do at every grade level and in every discipline. Elementary school, middle school, and high school students have the opportunity to research, experiment, develop new skills, work together on projects and find their passions.

Fairfield County students are prepared by King's college counseling four year developmental program that enables each student to discover the most competitive fit.
 

Each student, starting in Grade 9, is paired with an experienced college counselor who guides the college preparatory journey, including partnering on: curricular strategy; standardized testing strategy; college visits; identifying a college list; completing applications; and making a thoughtful, final decision.

 

King strengthens students from Westport and surrounding areas to pursue their passions beyond their years at King Private School. At King School, we believe each student deserves to pursue their passions in an environment that is challenging, scholarly, and the best fit for them. The world is rapidly changing; no one knows what the future will bring, but King graduates will be ready – ready to succeed and better prepared to better the world!
 

King has an amazing academic program within a kind, collaborative, and supportive environment. When we first visited the classrooms, we were so impressed with how engaged the students and teachers were. We loved both the look and feel of the campus and coming from an international school in London, we appreciated the diversity of the student body. Our three children, Thomas '20, Catherine '20, and Elizabeth '23, have developed wonderful relationships with teachers and administrators which have made a real difference in their growth as students and young adults.

Our kids have had exceptional athletic experiences with coaches who have brought out the best in them as athletes and competitors. The school spirit is off the charts and totally contagious. For us as parents, we have been impressed with the wonderful community of families; some of our best friends are fellow King parents. King is a school that will challenge your child and bring out his or her best. The teachers at King really know their students. The community is very welcoming and the education is top-notch!Lynn and Tom King of Westport, CT
