KUA is a great place, and I am very lucky to have attended. Academically, the school helped foster my interests, and was very well equipped to make students competitive in higher education. Athletically, NEPSAC athletics are very competitive, and I was a part of numerous title contender teams. Overall I had an overwhelmingly positive experience.

Everyone whose there wants to learn, and it makes things so much easier to do so that way. Teachers are wonderful, knowledgeable, and approachable. I'm still in contact with my advisor years later.

I have two children who are attending. They are very different kids and the school has been a good fit for both. The faculty and staff have done a great job creating a safe space for them to learn and grow. My older child is going to an amazing college in the Fall that was introduced to them through the college counseling office. It is a school we may not have looked at if we weren't directed there by their college counselor. My younger child has developed a love of jazz. He has also become more academically focused than he was prior to attending KUA. I would highly recommend visiting KUA and finding out if it is a good fit for your child.
