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.

the development of character, self-confidence, and talent through challenging intellectual, creative, athletic, leadership,
and service opportunities.

Recently, we unveiled new campus street signs named in honor of the founders of the Low-Heywood School and the Thomas School.
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.

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.

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 under standing 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.

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.

These are years of amazing growth — rich in play and discovery, when children are open to all the possibilities around them and take pride in mastering new skills and knowledge.

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 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.
19
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 ProgramThe 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.

Athletics start here. King’s Athletic Program is highly competitive while remaining supportive and emphasizing sportsmanship. Through this successful formula, King has produced many divisional and New England championship teams.King offers Varsity and JV teams in our sports, and our no-cut philosophy ensures
that every student can participate and can try new sports while maintaining a
highly competitive Varsity Program for athletes at the top level. In fact, more than
two-thirds of our Upper School students pursue at least two sports each year.
The vast majority of our Coaches at King are also Teachers here. The insights
and opportunities for mentoring and relationship-building that arise from seeing
a student both in the classroom and on the field are invaluable.
