Top 10 Reasons to Choose Kensington Woods

Remember the last time a teenager actually wanted to go to school? At Kensington Woods (KWoods), students bound through our doors into their second home. In our hallways, future engineers build robots next to budding artists transforming blank walls into stories. Friends tackle college courses together, growing stronger as a pack. This is where belonging has teeth. While other schools stick to rigid schedules and standardized approaches, we're busy breaking the mold of what grades 6-12 education can be in Livingston County–and we do it tuition-free!
