@2kids: Our son attended for 10th grade, after which he transferred to another BS. KHS was a nurturing, accepting environment, which was just what he went there seeking. Certain faculty members and administrators went above & beyond the call. Our son remains in touch with a number of his former classmates and considers them good friends. As a result, we keep faith with KHS, contributing what little money we can each year, even though our son left.

Factors that contributed to our son’s departure:


One sport was important to our son, that sport was weak at KHS, and the future looked bleak as he contemplated two more years with few prospects for the challenges he sought in that sport.
He felt the quality of the student body was uneven, with some kids talented and doing well, while others appeared academically and emotionally adrift. Because our son had put so much stock in going to boarding school & working hard, it (really) bothered him that some kids did not apply themselves. As a kid who was fighting hard to get away from being identified as a “misfit toy,” this latter condition ate at him.


Voguefashion, whom I do not know, can offer firsthand observations as a graduating KHS senior.

Cheers
