At King School, we don’t believe the smartest person in the room is the one with all the answers but the one with all the questions. We welcome curious students—the ones who aren’t afraid to ask why, try something new, and get it wrong before they get it right. We look for open minds and courageous thinking.
At King, we believe in the power of wonder.
This begins with students becoming agents in their own learning. When students explore, reflect, question, evaluate, and make connections—and teachers create and guide these moments of discovery—students are truly learning. This is what we call inquiry-based learning, and it is what we do at King at every grade level and in every discipline.
Our students develop a research mindset and apply that approach to all subjects, from discovering the world around them in pre-kindergarten to crafting complex and multidisciplinary senior projects in grade 12.
King students embrace learning through discovery, exploration, and hands-on experiences.
Every aspect of the King experience prioritizes and optimizes engagement—from the wide variety of active, immersive learning experiences to intentional efforts to reach each student. True engagement at King is the entire community’s commitment to excellence in learning.
We believe in the power of community. A community that celebrates multiple backgrounds and perspectives. We learn from one another and become stronger together. Our students come from 40 different towns. We are a global community with more than 70 countries represented. There is no one type of student at King. Our students have multiple interests, and our school offers opportunities to explore them.
Students at King bring their whole selves to school every day, and they are able to do this because of the supportive environment they find among their teachers and peers. Guided by King’s virtues: integrity, kindness, perseverance, and respect, students learn to embrace and celebrate themselves and others. When students feel valued and respected, they fully engage in deep and transformative learning.
We know that wondering minds go further. True engagement leads to learning in its truest form.
It prepares students for the next step in their education and creates the best opportunity for them to live happy, healthy, successful, and purposeful lives. By the time they graduate, our students have more than learned; they have learned how to learn. The world is rapidly changing; we might not know what the future will bring, but we know we’ll be ready—ready to succeed and better prepared to better the world!
