Reflections and Advice:

1.) What do you think makes your school unique relative to other boarding schools?
My overall experience with the school International Student Program was over the top. Students are welcomed, nurtured and served by mostly everyone on campus. The boarding program is equipped to meet the needs of the students that are miles away way from their families. I graduated last year, and by graduation day my immediate thought was " I wish I had gone to King's all my life". I had made some longlisting brotherhood friendships. I continue to communicate with some of my teachers and faith leaders from school.
2.) What was the best thing that happened to you in boarding school?
I found my American family away from my family!
3.) What might you have done differently during your boarding school experience?
I would not have done anything different! TKA was exactly what I was looking for!
4.) What did you like most about your school?
I made a great decision choosing TKA!
5.) Do you have any final words of wisdom for visiting or incoming students to your school?
For incoming students, I would suggest asking all the questions you may have. Please check out" King's Corner" It's our very own Starbucks type cafe.
