The King’s School: What's It All About?

Academic Excellence

The King’s School has a respected record of academic excellence and is one of the highest achieving non-selective schools in the country. Combining this with their cornerstones of character development and Christian values, the school gives its students the foundation they need to make a difference in the world.

The King’s School adopts an immersive learning philosophy that encourages students to consider who they want to be, rather than what they want to be. With this approach, boys apply sustained effort across all their schooling life to reach their potential.

Character Development

The King’s School has a respected reputation for forging young men of good character and integrity and placing particular importance on their overall wellbeing.

Faced with a broad array of challenges, experiences and opportunities throughout their schooling life, boys are compelled to move through adversity, competition or the natural elements to succeed, developing the tools and skills they need to enter the world as thought leaders. Calling on a range of innate emotional and physical attributes, boys mature into capable and respectful young adults.

Christian Community

Grounded in a biblical understanding as a Christian community, The King’s School wants every boy to make a positive impact in society through a life of service, harnessing their abilities to influence, inspire and motivate the people around them.

Students are encouraged to contribute to the greater good and live their lives with guidance and for the benefit of others, becoming respected leaders and positive role models, with a strong sense of social responsibility.
