Message from the Director of Advancement

KCS is truly a school like no other. It is a school that allows students to reach their ultimate potential through our Four Doors of Learning; academics, arts, athletics, and citizenship, while always teaching our three rules to live by: respect, manners, and try your best. KCS is helping our students succeed in school, while becoming good people in life.

Students being able to expand what’s possible at KCS happens in large part thanks to investments from our community. So many dollars have been donated to ensure that our students receive the very best educational experience. Just in the past decade, donors have invested in:

• The renovation of the Kindergarten space • The creation of our Outdoor Classroom • The Artist in Residence Program • The Student Entrepreneurship Fund • The renovation of our Innovation Lab • The renovation of Humbertown Park • FM systems in classrooms across the school • Health and safety equipment during the pandemic • The Student Publishing Program • Mental and physical well-being programming and equipment across the school • Outdoor education • Citizenship programming • The KCS Senior School • And more! As with so many projects that make KCS the great school it is today, the efforts of those who came before benefit those that follow. A culture of philanthropy is so important at KCS. Our current families, alumni and their families, Board members, past Board members, grandparents, and staff all have made such an impact with their generosity.

We wanted to use this year’s Annual Report to highlight some of the many achievements from the past decade made possible by our incredible community. This is another way for us to say to all of those who have given to KCS this year, and in the past decade, thank you. Our current students and our future students are provided enhanced learning experiences and facilities because of your contributions to KCS.

So again. Thank you.
