A Lifetime Advantage

What a Difference A KO Education Makes

 

The truth is, a Kingswood Oxford private school education will set you up for professional success and personal fulfillment. It’s an education for a lifetime because true learning, we consider, never stops. Ours is an intentionally developed and educational experience that features:

 

  • A rigorous and relevant liberal arts curriculum
  • Participation in the arts and athletics
  • Supportive relationships with exceptional faculty and school leaders
  • Abundant co-curricular and experiential learning opportunities
  •  

 

And though many of our Wyverns have achieved great success professionally, the true measure of success is leading a life of honesty and integrity. This foundation allows us to adjust to life’s headwinds and the wisdom and strength to seize the opportunities that change generates. These are the guiding principles that a KO education instills.

 

 

 

“When students graduate from KO, I want them to know their strengths. I want them to know what they need to continue to work on. Most importantly, though, I want them to be able to go out into the world and make decisions that ultimately lead them to success, realizing that it isn’t necessarily the place they’re going to that matters; it’s actually what they can do in that place. They know what they can do; they know what they can bring, and they’re excited to build community.”

— David Baker ’04, Upper School history chair
