King School

King School unlocks the power of wonder. A PreK-12 independent school in
Stamford, CT. We look for open minds and courageous thinking.

At King School, we don’t believe the smartest person in the room is the one with all the answers, it’s the one with all the questions. We welcome the curious ones - the ones who aren’t afraid to ask why, to try something new, to get it wrong before they get it right. We believe in the power of wonder. This begins with students becoming agents in their own learning. When students are exploring, ref

lecting, questioning, evaluating, making connections — and teachers are creating and guiding these moments of discovery — students are truly learning. This is what we call inquiry-based learning, and it is what we do at King at every grade level and in every discipline. Our students develop a research mindset and apply that approach to all subject matters. From discovering the world around them in Prekindergarten to crafting complex and multidisciplinary senior projects, King students embrace learning through discovery, exploration, and hands-on experiences. Every aspect of the King experience prioritizes and optimizes engagement — from the wide variety of active, immersive learning experiences to intentional efforts to reach each and every student. True engagement at King is the entire community’s commitment to excellence in learning. We believe in the power of community. A community that celebrates multiple backgrounds and perspectives. We learn from one another and become stronger together. Our students come from 40 different towns. We are a global community with more than 70 countries represented. There is no one type of student at King. Our students have multiple interests and our school offers opportunities to explore them. We know that wondering minds go further. By the time they graduate, our students have more than learned, they learned how to learn. The world is rapidly changing; we might not know what the future will bring, but we know we’ll be ready – ready to succeed and better prepared to better the world!

It was great to hear from Kiran Rao ’25, who recently shared an update from his seven-week volunteer experience with the Orphaned Starfish Foundation (OSF) in Peru! Rao’s connection to the organization began while at King, where he helped organize the annual King Cares 5K, co-founded an upper school club supporting OSF and the Stamford Boys & Girls Club, and completed an internship with the organization in New York City. While in Peru, he also connected with OSF Director of Operations Karla Osorio and Founder and Executive Chairman Andy Stein, visited Machu Picchu, and explored the country on weekends.

When our students return to campus in the fall, they bring with them ideas about who they might become, the paths they might follow, and the difference they hope to make in the world. As those dreams change and grow, King helps to guide every question, experience, and discovery, enabling students to imagine what’s possible and take the next step toward their future.

Every child arrives at King with curiosity, imagination, and unlimited potential. Our role as a school is to nurture those dreams, challenge students to think bigger, and provide experiences to help them discover who they are and who they can become. We can’t wait to share more about our dreams for the future with you this fall.
