Personalized Guidance. Every Step of the Way.

At Kingswood Oxford, every Middle School student has someone in their corner. Our advising program is built on strong relationships among students, advisors, and families, creating a foundation of trust, understanding, and support that helps students thrive.

By getting to know each student as an individual—their strengths, challenges, goals, friendships, and learning styles—advisors provide personalized guidance through these important years of growth and discovery. Open communication between home and school ensures families and advisors work together, share insights, and celebrate progress along the way.

Confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging aren’t built overnight. They’re shaped daily through meaningful connections, thoughtful guidance, and the reassurance that every student is known, valued, and supported.

At Kingswood Oxford, a well-rounded education is built on strong relationships and experiences that extend beyond the classroom. Through close partnerships with families and opportunities to explore, connect, and grow, Middle School students develop the confidence, independence, and character that shape who they are becoming.

A FAMILY/SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP

Working Together. Growing Together.

Students thrive when families and schools work as partners. At KO, open, ongoing communication ensures that advisors understand each student’s strengths, challenges, progress, and potential. By building meaningful relationships with students and their families, advisors provide personalized guidance and support throughout the Middle School years. Together, we create a community where every student is known, valued, and encouraged to grow.

BUILDING CONNECTIONS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

New Experiences. Stronger Bonds. Lasting Growth.

Some of the most meaningful lessons happen beyond the classroom. KO Middle School trips take students outside their comfort zones and into new environments where they discover their strengths, build friendships, and develop trust in themselves and one another.

Whether navigating a new challenge, working together to solve a problem, or trying something for the first time, students develop resilience, leadership, cooperation, and self-awareness. These shared experiences also strengthen the advisor-advisee relationship, creating connections that carry back into everyday school life.

Confidence is built through experience. Friendships grow through shared challenges. Character is shaped daily.

Each grade embarks on its own adventure:

Upper Prep (Grade 6): Hiking to Heublein Tower, ropes course at Winding Trails in Farmington

Form 1 (Grade 7): Three days and two nights at the Show Pond in Maine

Form 2 (Grade 8): Four days and three nights at Snow Pond in Maine

The best aspect of the KO teachers is their availability. They teach us concepts in class but then provide extra help if we need it through emails, study hall, and after school. They help you approach problems in different ways, so you really understand. I feel very comfortable going to my teachers and advisor because they are there to help me, and they know me as a person.
