Our teacher/coach/advisor model ensures that we know each student's unique personality, academic profile, learning preference and talents as athletes, artists and leaders. K-O is small enough for each student to feel at home, yet big enough, and programmatically rich enough, for everyone to explore a multitude of interests, inside and outside the classroom. We are acredited by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges Inc (NEASC).
