King School
When young learners see education as a place to experiment, create, construct, and connect, they develop a more expansive mindset about what “school” can offer them. They experience education as a path of discovery, understanding, wonder, and joy. These ideas are grounded in the Reggio-Emilia inspired, project-based teaching and learning practiced at King School. We encourage our PreKindergarten and Kindergarten learners to collaboratively explore intentionally created vibrant classroom spaces where children are actively engaged in the process of learning from the earliest ages.
The Children's School
The early years are when a foundation for life is created: deep curiosity, interests, passions, skills, confidence, and respect for others, oneself, and the natural world. The Children’s School, with over 60 years of expertise, supports each student with dedicated teachers and a personalized program. Children are immersed in a rich curriculum of music, art, science, movement, numeracy, and books, with materials designed to inspire hands-on exploration. Here hearts and minds are nurtured in an environment filled with learning and love. We invite you to attend an upcoming open house or schedule a private tour to experience our sustainable campus and state-of-the-art building, meet our staff, and learn more about our innovative programs for children ages 3 to 8.
