From the School
Greetings from King Solomon Academy.
Our school is defined by our purpose to give all KSA students the option to attend a selective university when they become 18 and to be able to be happy and successful both while they are in school and after they graduate.
Our academy maintains a loving, family-oriented culture while having the greatest academic objectives.
In my role as principal, I pledge to getting to know every family well, getting to know every student individually, and making sure that every student has a happy and successful life at the school.
Academics make up our curriculum.
As an all-through academy, we are happy to currently accept students from our own elementary school and are resolutely working to keep our promise to each of our families to provide a university education.
In Year 5, students transfer to the Older Years Site, where they have access to a greater range of academic and extracurricular resources.
We demand more of ourselves, our parents, and our students in order to realise our goals and visions for the academy.
