About Kingswood Academy
Kingswood Academy is a private, independent, coeducational school dedicated to the academic, spiritual and moral formation of our students. At Kingswood we believe all children will benefit from developing strong minds and virtuous characters.
- Our school hours are from 8:45 a.m. to 3:05 p.m., with the exception of every Wednesday when the children are dismissed at 2:15 p.m. This “early out” provides the teachers with a weekly hour of Professional Development.
- Our Pre-Kindergarten Half-Day program for 3 and 4 year-olds meets: Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m..
- The 4-year-old Full-Day preschool program meets: Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m..
- Our Kindergarten students are with us all day on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Having the classes run three consecutive days gives the children the opportunity to cover more material in a consistent manner and to develop necessary social skills.
- Because Kingswood is a private school, we look at the academic ability of each student as well as their maturity level when deciding on the best grade placement. We test all incoming K-7th grade students and report the results to the parents or legal guardians.
