Message from the KCS Treasurer

This past year may be best summed up by the phrase ‘transitioning with purpose’, as the school navigated the restrictions imposed by the pandemic and emphasized a return to a more familiar learning experience for staff and students.

Fiscal 2022 was significant in that it marked our first year of operating both Junior School and Senior School campuses. The school managed to post a modest operating surplus for the year notwithstanding the significant investment in both faculty and infrastructure made in preparation for opening the Senior School this past September.

Junior School operations saw greater in-person learning and interactions, outdoor trips and athletic activities, various celebrations, and graduation ceremonies, while maintaining adherence to the recommended health and safety practices. Emphasis was placed on engaging learning experiences and reinvigorating the community spirit both within and outside the school.

Construction commenced in the autumn of 2021 transforming the interior space of the newly acquired Senior Campus property located on Lakeshore Blvd. The realization of this vision, decades in the making, is a testament to the continued financial support and commitment of our community.

I want to also acknowledge the contribution by the members of the KCS Finance Committee. The dedication, insight and commitment of these people are invaluable in assisting the school, especially as it transitions to two campuses. I feel especially confident for the future as Mark Rogers takes over the role of Treasurer of School and Chair of the Finance committee.

In closing, I would like to thank you, our community, for your unwavering support and commitment to the school.

Treasurer of KCS Chair of the Finance Committee
