Academics
Creating a Community of Learners
Through a focus on subject-area integration and developing 21st century skills like creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and communication, learning at Kensington Woods is a student-centered and relevant exploration of academic content and skills.
At Kensington Woods, we know that for students to succeed, they must engage in their classes and their learning environment. Students and teachers collaborate with each other, creating a culture of a community of learners, where students are accepted for who they are and developing passions is encouraged. An emphasis is placed on developing strong relationships between students and teachers, with high expectations created for students. Research shows that when students have a strong connection with a teacher and are held to high expectations, they engage more with their learning and achieve more. Class sizes are kept small, allowing for students to get the one-on-one attention they deserve.
Kensington Woods offers students many unique learning opportunities, all with the goal of developing graduates who are active citizens, independent thinkers and lifelong learners that are prepared for success at college and in their future career.
