Co-Curricular Program

King’s values teamwork more than individual excellence and aims to provide its students with opportunities to work together as part of a team or an ensemble (in MUN, theater, orchestra and competitive sport, for example). The values learned by working on a team – including sacrifice and collaboration in the service of something bigger than oneself -- are invaluable and the skills that make a strong teammate are among the most important skills students need for success.

King’s aims to teach students importance of exercise and encourage them to be physically active. Much recent research on the brain has emphasized how important regular exercise is to the development of young people's intellectual, cognitive and emotional health, and for growing children exercise and sport are an important and necessary outlet.

King’s strives to offer programs that provide opportunities for students to exercise their imaginations. In addition to theater, the performing and persuasive arts, and the fine arts, there are many opportunities at King’s for students to create and exhibit their accomplishments. As much as possible, King’s programs strive to be product-oriented, involving opportunities for students to exhibit and perform their work, especially at the conclusion of each term and at school meetings.

King’s community aims to use its own education in the service of others. These programs allow students to look beyond themselves and their peer groups to the larger world to connect with people different from themselves, to address issues of pressing urgency and to develop their powers of empathy.
