In the fall of 2016, King’s Academy opened a middle school for grades 7 and 8. The addition of these grades allowed King's to deepen its mission, extend the educational runway for students, and design a more powerful and integrated curriculum. Moreover, it has provided Upper School students with additional opportunities for growth, learning and leadership – as mentors, tutors, and big brothers and big sisters of younger students.

Our Academic Approach

Academics
We stress canonical approaches to the acquisition of understanding, as well as less traditional means, such as collaborative small group work, individual research, and a "portfolio" approach, in which students demonstrate their understanding through projects and activities, not just through exams.
