Welcome to KUA

As an international boarding school, the Kimball Union community is enriched by our students who hail from approximately 28 countries each year. Our international students find a welcome home on The Hilltop where they are immersed in an educational and boarding school experience that will prepare them for productive and meaningful lives in college and beyond.
Students can work closely with a full-time ESL specialist through one-on-one meetings, for either one or two class periods a week. We do not offer an English or History ESL course, as all students are integrated into classes.
The Application Process
For applicants whose first language is not English, we require either the TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo. We will waive the English test requirements for those students who have been studying in the United States for three or more years.  The SSAT is optional for all applicants.

Students from mainland China are asked to begin their admissions process by scheduling a Vericant interview. Selected students will be contacted to schedule an interview with an admissions officer.
 
We encourage our international applicants to apply for Grade 9 or Grade 10, as our spaces are limited for Grade 11. To schedule a virtual or on-campus visit, please contact the Office of Admission at 603-469-2100.
