Community Life

Sharing Connections, Celebrating Differences

 

What a Difference Community Makes

 

Building a strong community requires that people share common values and work together in the pursuit of both collective and individual goals. A strong community affirms that every member is important, belongs, and contributes to the common good. As KO’s motto attests, “one conquers by conquering oneself” – that is, by strengthening individual goals, we strengthen the whole.

 

We lift each other up, elevate each other’s voices, and celebrate our differences. We welcome parents, guardians, and families into our fold – knowing that they enrich our shared experience and animate the inclusive partnerships that define us.

At the same time that we focus on personal growth, we reach outside of our community, lending our combined strength to support those around us and around the world.

“What makes the community at KO so special is that there are people passionate about so many different interests. You can find these connecting points to other people and learn about various perspectives. That’s what makes our community what it is, and the differences strengthen our community even more.”

— Brady, senior

“My advisor pushes me but always lets me know when to pull back. She’s always there to support me in doing whatever I want to do and guiding me in the right direction. She helps me make decisions that work the best for me to make school more enjoyable and more manageable.”
