What Children and Families Say

What Our Kids Say

“I like that there are small classes and a really nice atmosphere. It’s quiet and comfortable. I like that they can match you at your level of skill.”

“I like KAS because we have kind and caring teachers.”

“At KAS, everyone’s friendly. Here, teachers listen to kids’ ideas.”

“KAS. This little safe haven is different. The reason is the teachers try to make school fun. Their knowledge seems like pi: It goes on forever. With them, the students morph into sponges, but instead of water, they soak up knowledge. This school is like a tailored suit: It fits. Signed—One happy kid.”

What Our Families Say

“KAS encourages independence and responsibility.”

“We have welcomed KAS’s balance of creative projects, which have kept our middle-schooler engaged, with textbooks, challenging tests, and assignments with deadlines. My son is learning the organizational and writing skills he’ll need to succeed in high school and beyond.”

“What’s unique about KAS is that it is a small, personal, and supportive environment. A large share of the teachers have years of experience and very good instincts.”

“So much that is important about a school—like feeling safe and having friends—can’t be counted, yet the wider society emphasizes only test scores. KAS succeeds at those important things that can't be quantified.”

“My child is eager to go to school each day. When I drop him off, I feel confident that I’m leaving him in a place where he’s understood and valued. Because he’s so comfortable being himself at school, he can dedicate himself to his studies without distraction. He’s engaged and challenged, and he comes home bursting with stories about what he’s learned.”

“KAS is, at its core, a school for individuals. That’s why it appeals to us.”
