WELCOME TO KiNg! As King approaches its 150th year in 2015/2016, you will discover that King students – continuing on the path of our rich heritage – learn to embody the values and vision to embark on a journey of life-long success all their own. Our culture is marked by a sustained commitment to bring the very best to our King community and foster the unique potential that each of our students possesses. As a King student, or parent, the journey begins when you first step on campus as a member of an exceptional community. We form a diverse, yet cohesive, group of peers who share close working relationships with a team of talented and dedicated Teachers, Advisors, and Coaches as they progress through their journeys at King. Our intensive, flexible curriculum is designed to prepare our students for accomplishment, personal fulfillment, and social responsibility. The results: confident, thoughtful, successful students who discover their passions and then continue on to new adventures at the nation’s finest colleges and universities. King has taken proud steps forward with the completion of the new jewel of our campus, the Performing Arts Center, facilitating enhancements in the Theater, Choral, and Instrumental Programs. Our pursuit of athletic excellence continues with newly refurbished and reconfigured athletic fields serving all three divisions. And we continue onward with plans to reimagine and redesign the Upper School building to include a centralized Academic Center. I hope the following pages will give you a more vivid sense of the lively spirit, intellectual passion, and joy of the journey here at King.

Heritage starts here. King has arisen from the convergence of three distinct independent schools that, from the beginning, shared similar educational missions. The oldest of the schools, Low-Heywood, was founded by Miss C.E. Richardson in 1865. In 1883, Miss Louisa Low purchased Miss Richardson’s School for Girls; her niece, Miss Edith Heywood, was her assistant. Thus began Low-Heywood School. In 1875, Hiram King, a Dartmouth graduate, was asked by several local families to form a private boys’ school, which became The King Day School. In 1922, a few miles away in Rowayton, Mabel Thomas founded a day and boarding school on her parents’ summer estate. In 1974, the now-neighboring Low-Heywood and King Schools began coordinating their educational and extracurricular programs. In 1975, the Thomas School merged with the Low-Heywood School at the latter’s Newfield Avenue campus. Both the King School and Low-Heywood Thomas School maintained individual identities until 1988, when the King & Low-Heywood Thomas School was formed as a co-educational institution. Development of the grounds has drawn the campuses together into a cohesive whole. Our history continues to grow, as we look toward our 150th year in 2015/2016.
Recently, we unveiled new campus street signs named in honor of the founders of the Low-Heywood School and the Thomas School.

Community starts here. Appreciation for diversity and global understanding, as well as the importance of community service, are integrated into the curriculum and school life at every level. Students at King grow in character as they develop consideration for one another and an appreciation for individual and cultural differences, and learn the importance of giving back to the local and broader communities of which they are members. “We are a progressive school with a very clear diversity policy, and we are viewed as an institution that does extraordinarily well in this area,” Dean of Community Affairs Lise Leist says. “The Head of School, Board of Trustees, and Senior Administration truly understand and embrace the efforts we make to provide a myriad of opportunities to explore, enhance, and celebrate our community. That puts us in a strong position as a school.” Respect, empathy, and concern for others are further developed through a strong service program that is built into the King experience from the earliest grades. Each year, King hosts more than a dozen service-based organizations at a Volunteer Fair from which students come to understand specific needs, make new contacts, and volunteer for service. Students, Teachers, and parents alike bring their time, energy, and talents to a variety of community volunteer projects that have a wide impact. In placing such a deliberate focus on community, diversity, and global studies, King builds personal character and ensures a supportive and considerate environment. But it does more than that: it also prepares its students to be competitive in the world they will inhabit. A vision for participation and leadership that stresses relationship-building and intercultural understanding in the world of tomorrow is critical in this global era.

In placing such a deliberate focus on community, diversity, and global studies, King builds personal character and ensures a supportive and considerate environment.
Our missions for diversity, community service, and global studies: DiVErSiTy POLiCy Diversity is a core value at King. We are enriched through our appreciation of diversity’s many faces, including gender, race, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, talent, or learning style. By honoring cultural differences and intellectual diversity, we create a vibrant learning community where each person is valued. COMMUNiTy SErViCE A principal tenet of the King Mission is to develop civic-minded student leaders with a commitment to others. We champion the development of each individual’s talents, character, and self-confidence by offering our students the opportunity to help others through service learning and active service. The Community Service Program is an integral part of a values-based curriculum at King and reinforces the School’s belief that service to others is central to educational excellence. The program requires students to give their time and talents to help others. gLOBAL STUDiES King believes in the importance of educating students to become engaged global citizens. We strive to develop in each member of the community an awareness of this increasingly interdependent world. We foster an understanding of the need for active participation in ethical, cultural, socioeconomic, political, scientific, and environmental issues. King students will learn to respect cultural differences and accept the responsibilities of being capable catalysts for positive change within this country and throughout the world.

“Not only are the students learning the language, they are also learning the culture and learning to respect others, and this best prepares them for the future.” – Ana Gallegos Lower School Spanish Teacher

Lower School starts here. From Grades PreK-5, the Lower School at King offers a warm and supportive place to learn. Children learn best in a diverse, active, and engaging environment that recognizes individual talents. At King, we take a comprehensive approach that addresses all the ways students need to learn, including their intellectual, social, physical, and emotional development. At the heart of the Lower School curriculum is interactive, experiential learning that builds on children’s natural curiosity. Our students learn by doing — becoming scientists, writers, artists, and mathematicians along the way. At the same time, Teachers come to understand how each child learns, and adjust their teaching methods to maximize each child’s experience. An integrated curriculum links subjects in different areas, such as social studies and music, or math and art, giving students an appreciation for the real-world connections between subjects and reinforcing the material learned. Students use the Lower School science lab to integrate the lessons they learned in the classroom in a true laboratory setting, and regularly visit the media center to learn about various research techniques. Field trips and musical performances, along with traditions like picnics, field days, and moving-up ceremonies, provide additional learning opportunities and add an extra dose of fun and celebration to the school year. In small classes led by knowledgeable, caring, dedicated Teachers, children at King learn to respect and help each other grow in responsibility and gain a genuine appreciation for other cultures and individual differences. Students like spending time here, where they feel safe, supported, encouraged, and cherished. Children thrive at King.

Middle School starts here. The Middle School at King is a welcoming, stimulating, and caring community specifically designed to meet the educational and developmental needs of young adolescents. At an age of many transitions, young people feel more connected to their school and invested in their educations when they discover the talents that motivate them, academic subjects that engage them, activities that delight them, and Teachers who understand them. The Middle School Program is designed to challenge students to become more independent while providing appropriate support and encouragement. A comprehensive curriculum prepares students for the Upper School and college years with a thorough grounding in English, History, Mathematics, Science, Modern Languages, Creative Arts, Music, Band, Choir, Performing Arts, and Life Skills. Completed in 2004, the Middle School building provides state-of-the-art classrooms, science laboratories, art and music rooms, and central gathering spaces. With only 15 students in a typical Middle School class, students and Teachers get to know one another well and opportunities abound for discussion and individual attention. Students learn best when they are actively involved in their learning and in the assessment of their work and behavior. Through interdisciplinary projects, students in the Middle School have the opportunity to draw on the full range of their abilities and come to identify and understand their strengths. This awareness of how they learn will prove invaluable, both at the Middle School age and beyond, giving students the ability to capitalize on their strengths and to use the resources available for extra help when needed.

At King, we foster a strong sense of school identity. 18
At an age of many transitions, young people feel invested in their educations when they discover academic subjects that engage them, and Teachers who understand them.
Our Advisory Program provides students with support and guidance on a one-to-one basis. Each Middle School student has an Academic Advisor to serve as a mentor and advocate on issues that range from course selection to study habits to the social and personal issues young adolescents often face. Teachers here are always asking, “What works best for the children? Am I reaching them? What else can I be doing?” They are deeply committed to their craft, working with each student to bring out his/her potential. “Our Teachers don’t just rely on last year’s lesson plan; they know that this year’s class is an entirely different group of individuals. They are there to meet every student’s needs,” says Head of Middle School Bobby Walker, Jr. Competitive team sports take place during the school day, offering a first-rate program overseen by the Varsity Coaches of each sport. All students in the Middle School participate in our Athletic Program. The program builds teamwork, self-discipline, and good sportsmanship, while emphasizing continued skill development. This approach to Middle School Athletics serves as an effective bridge to the Upper School Athletic Program. At King, we foster both a strong sense of school identity and an appreciation for diversity. We build a positive sense of community, in the belief that the stronger the community, the better the school experience. Middle School students at King enjoy a respectful, kind, and supportive community where they can challenge themselves and gain confidence in their abilities.

Upper School starts here. At King, Teachers are generous with their time and energy, and make full use of all the opportunities that the classroom provides. King’s challenging Academic Program provides a broad array of traditional and elective college-preparatory courses that emphasize writing skills, analytical thinking, problem solving, self-expression, and sound judgment informed by compassion for others and a clear sense of ethics. Flexible scheduling options enable us to design an individualized program that meets the talents and needs of each student. Honors and Advanced Placement courses are offered for students seeking an additional academic challenge, and a wide range of electives is available — from Poetry Writing Workshop to Forensic Science. Independent study options allow motivated students to design their own courses of study in areas of particular interest. “If there is an academic interest, we try to match it with an appropriately challenging course,” says Head of Upper School Marnie Sadlowsky. Small classes, dynamic and caring Teachers, and personalized focus ensure support, challenge, and opportunity for every student. Outside the classroom, personal development is encouraged through more than 30 student-run organizations focused on community service, leadership, enrichment, and personal interests. And, our 32 Varsity and JV athletic teams provide avenues for sportsmanship, fitness, and competition. To provide support for students in every aspect of their daily experience, King has an excellent Advisory Program in place. Students meet daily with their Academic Advisors, who assist with course selection and offer guidance and insight about academic and personal concerns.

College Counseling Program The College Counseling Program meets with our students and parents regularly throughout their time in the Upper School. This program prepares students for a meaningful college search experience that will help them identify colleges that best fit their aspirations, interests, academic strengths, and personalities. Almost 100 representatives from colleges across the country visit King each year. College Counseling classes are a key part of our program and begin during Grades 9 and 10 with group informational sessions for parents and students. Students in Grade 11 kick off this important year with a school-led college tour. This Junior Class trip allows students to visit a group of colleges and universities to enable each individual to better understand what type of school is the best fit for him/her. This guidance continues into the student’s senior year. The College Counselors keep students and parents informed with pertinent reminders and updates throughout the application process, and are available to meet with parents. A King education focuses on challenging every individual in ways that make a lasting difference to each young person’s insight into his/her unique strengths and talents. No one-size-fits-all educational process, no matter how rigorous, can match the way the King experience unlocks students’ power to reach their full potentials in Upper School, in college, and for the rest of their lives.

Visual Art starts here. The Visual Art Faculty helps students learn to use and manipulate a wide range of media and techniques to express themselves and develop their personal artistic visions. Through the development of skills and good craftsmanship, the seeking of alternative answers to problems, deep involvement in the artistic process, and the respect for, and understanding of, human creative endeavors from other cultures and points of view, students learn to view the world through the eyes of the artist.
