 | Kimball Union Academy offers an open and safe community dedicated to stimulating intellectual curiosity while stewarding emotional and spiritual growth. Our Student Life Program is an integral part of a curriculum dedicated to educating the whole person. Furthermore, the Student Life Program is committed to discovering the most effective way to instill strong moral character, sound judgment, and individual integrity. Through a variety of opportunities, Kimball Union students will develop the necessary skills to reflect, critique and analyze in order to make a difference in the world.
What a strong community this is.
• Living with your peers as well as your teachers strengthens your relationships with those in the community and enhances the academic experience.
• Residences range in size from small houses that accommodate as few as 5 students, to larger halls housing as many as 45 students.
• Kimball Union has a 6-day academic schedule with half days on Wednesday and Saturday to support extended student involvement in co-curricular programs those afternoons.
• The daily schedule includes designated office hours for faculty and advisor-advisee meetings to facilitate student-faculty interaction outside of the classroom.
• There are family style seated dinners weekly that promote community building and discussion.
• Morning meetings, run by the Student Body President, are held twice a week to inform the community about events and to celebrate student performances.
• Student proctors serve as liaisons between house parents and students. They are also a great resource for students with questions or concerns they would like to discuss with a peer.
• There are scheduled evening study hours six nights per week to help students manage their workload.
• All-school and special interest cultural events and social programs abound.

| | What Our Students Have to Say | This school is different…
“It’s just different here … that is what I am reminded of everyday. I wish people knew what kind of gem this school really is. Because the teachers and other students push me to do my best, I have learned so much about myself. In one aspect we are this little academic community and in another, we are creative, athletic and focused on our futures. Where else can I take a break between classes to toss a tennis ball for my teacher’s dog or eat my lunch on the lawn? It’s KUA, something I will never forget.”
