Apply Early

Students who are certain they want to enroll at King’s Academy next year are encouraged to apply for admissions under Early Decision. These are binding decisions, meaning the family must promise to enroll the student if he or she is admitted to King’s through Early Decision.

Early decision candidates will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee and then notified of the admission decision within two weeks after the completion of the application process. Financial aid is not available for Early Decision applicants.

Families need to complete this early decision intention form and return it to the Office of Admissions to be considered.

Why Boarding School?

The boarding school experience is an ideal way for students to optimize both academic learning and social development. Under the close supervision and guidance of our faculty and staff, students are encouraged to challenge themselves intellectually while developing their social skills, athletic and extra-curricular interests, personal maturity and ethics.
