King School: Nurturing Global Minds: A PreK-12 Multi-Cultural Journey

King School

In an increasingly interconnected world, King School prepares students to be both global citizens and global leaders. Located in Stamford, Connecticut, this day school hosts Pre-K to Grade 12 students, representing over 80 nationalities among students and faculty. The school recognizes that all students approach their education with a unique perspective, enriching the learning experience for all. The core curriculum is developed in line with the unique assembly of students that exists within the community. Foundational to this globalized approach, students are immersed in an inquiry and research-based methodology that keeps them highly engaged and invested in their learning.

For example, a months-long study of geometry in different cultures sparked brilliant artwork by second-grade students. Inspired by geometric paintings commonly found in the homes of the South African Ndebele people, horizontal patterns common in Ghanaian kente cloth, and symmetrical motifs found in Islamic mosaics, the students produced original pieces infused with colors, patterns, and shapes.
