Great Catholic Education with Character. I was pleasantly surprised when my wife dragged me for a visit three years ago. It is a virtue based education that is academically challenging, as exemplfied by the stellar Terra Nova scores. The school fully reinforces the principles and values we are teaching at home and partners with the parents in this process. They truly are educating children in a warm friendly atmosphere who are going to be great adults with virtuous character and have a positive impact on society no matter what they are called to do. Sending our kids to Kingswood was one of the best decisions we have made for our children.

Kingswood Academy was the best choice for our family. The teachers and staff are dedicated and caring. They challenge our children to not only succeed academically, but morally and spiritually. They assist us as parents by providing support and encouragement to help us raise smart, holy, and happy kids. The virtue based program reinforces the values we try and instill at home.

Kingswood Academy combines great values and academic challanges to prepare our children for a better future. In today's society where most public schools provide only mediocre curriculum, it's nice to know that there are still schools like Kingswood Academy that teaches a child to be a well rounded individual and a person with morals and virtues. Our daughter has made such a great progress on her reading and writing. Kids are well behaved so children can focus on academics instead of parents/teachers dealing with bad behavior. I highly recommend this school to anyone.

Kingswood is like a home away from home. The teachers are great. The virtue based curriculum is second to none. After a visit you to will become a parent at Kingswood Academy.

If you haven't stopped in for a visit, you have to! This is the warmest, most welcoming school in the area! They love having parents help in the classrooms and visit whenever they can! The academics are great - the teachers teach kids at a high level! Many kids are able to skip some 9th grade classes because they are so well prepared! The love and respect of the students, teachers and staff is highly evident! Small classes and great families is a bonus! The values of the school and of the families is contagious!

As parents, we were looking for a school with a challenging curriculum and devoted teachers that supported us as the primary educators of our children. We were looking for a place that would assist us in the moral and spiritual development of our children and followed the teachings of the Catholic Church; we found this at Kingswood Academy and in the amazing character education program. We were looking for small class sizes and individual attention. We were looking for a school where recess and gym is important and physical exercise is encouraged. We wanted an educational environment that would teach our children to be confident lifelong learners, to be intellectually curious and to lead a life of virtue and faith. We found this and more at KA!

Kingswood Academy is a wonderful school! Your child is educated in a warm nurturing environment where virtues are part of their every day learning curriculum. Because classroom sizes are small, children receive individual attention. Parents are strongly encouraged to participate in their childrens education and are considered their childs primary educator. The religious education that the students receive is based on strict adherence to the Catholic faith and the Magisterium of the Church!

Kingswood Academy is an excellent school for those who want a traditional Roman Catholic environment. Teachers challenge the students and the academic program is rigorous! It is a great school that teaches academic excellence with Catholic values! The class sizes are small (10 - 16) with a cap of 22! The parents, teachers and staff are supportive and welcoming, too! Well worth the money! What a Blessing!
