Why KO
What a Difference KO Makes
A School for the Rest of Your Life
Kingswood Oxford is a co-ed independent day school in West Hartford serving academically motivated students in grades 6 – 12. We build partnerships with students and families – empowering students with self-awareness and an understanding of their roles in a community. By establishing foundations of academic mastery and strong character, KO students prepare themselves to seize opportunities and make a positive impact on the world.
Over their time at Kingswood Oxford, our students discover who they are, who they want to be, and all they can accomplish. There is no one size fits all KO student. Each child celebrates success wherever they find it – in the classroom, on the field, or on the stage – and in many cases, a combination of all of their interests. By the time they graduate, KO students are well-equipped to advocate for themselves and tackle challenging coursework in college.
But even more than the strong academic underpinning that KO provides, we develop principle-centered leaders who model and practice living a life of integrity and involvement and “care beyond self.”
