My child attends KAS currently and I don't think I have ever seen anyone more excited at drop-off. She absolutely adores her teachers and I love hearing her rave about the newest science experiment. Not only do these children work in a highly educational classroom, but they visit the nearby parks which always puts a smile on my daughter's face. My child previously attended a larger public school, but as soon as she was put in the focused, small classrooms of KAS, her confidence soared. And not to mention the incredible, healthy lunches for which the students even grow their own produce. I am so grateful to this school for accepting us into our community and treating my daughter like one of their own from the beginning. There is truly no school like KAS.
