The King's Academy (TKA) is a highly respected Christian college-preparatory School in Sunnyvale CA. As a parent of a 6th-student who attends TKA, I appreciate how the teachers and administrators have proper biblical standards and boundaries, but discipline is always handled in a confidential, loving, and professional way. In the same way, they encourage all the students to have fun, but everyone knows where the boundaries are. The teaching is so incredibly sensitive to the learning needs of every student. All the teachers manage to gear their instruction to individual students so well that sometimes I think that my son is getting a private tutor in terms of how well the teachers accommodate his learning style The only difference between home-schooling and TKA is that my son is having a blast with his friends and in all the sports, clubs and activities he's engaged in. The school says on its website that it takes having fun seriously. It's true. The administration and parent volunteers spend a lot of time and effort on school-wide activities in home groups, chapels, theater and broadcast productions, student retreats, clubs, lunches with teachers, and sports and after-school events. It seems like every week there are three or four fun and interesting things going on at the school. When TKA gives the students so many fun events and activities, it puts the students and administration on the same side: everyone wants the students to work hard and have fun at the same time. Consequently, almost no shenanigans are happening whereby the students who are starved for fun and fellowship feel they have to break any rules or go against the staff or faculty to kill boredom or monotony. Besides being a parent of a TKA student, I'm also a substitute teacher at TKA. Therefore, I know the school from an insider's perspective. I see firsthand how hard the faculty and staff cater to the academic and spiritual needs of the student body. TKA treats every student like he or she is: a fearfully and wonderfully made individual created in the likeness of God with incredible potential to bless themselves, their family, their community, and the world with their unique God-given talent and abilities. TKA's sole mission is to develop its students to their full potential in Christ. And they are very successful in doing that. The love and attention given to the student body are exhibited by the real feeling of warmth and fellowship everyone at the school has for each other. I pay full tuition for my son to go to TKA, and I feel that he and I are getting more than our money's worth. The academics are fantastic, and there's so much going on. The activities and events are endless. And people get along very well here. The community is one body in Christ that exhibits all the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.TKA. What a blessing!

King's is great! The teachers are great and always ready to help if needed. The student body is a bit small, but it's compensated by the fun events like Spirit Week and class retreats.
