I really do love my school especially the performing arts center. I am not a fan of the administration though. They've made some questionable decisions and always leave us in the dark. But the teachers at King are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

King is a special place in the "FairChester" world of private schools. The academics are excellent, the community is unsurpassed. Students really live the "King Virtues" (Kindness, Integrity, Perserverance, Respect) day-in and day-out; they work hard, they help each other, and they understand they have a role in King's culture.

There is preferential treatment of some students and the administration sometimes falls victim to to large donors...

king has a beautiful facility, however it is time to concentrate on the teachers, curriculum, diversity of all types and improving the administration of the Upper School.
