- To provide fine arts experiences for all ages, including art, music, and drama.
KingsField has been operating an on-grounds school since 1996. It is open to all of the residents at KingsField, though not all are required to attend. The school helps children who have had difficulty in the public school system with behavioral or truancy issues. The school focuses on building relationship skills, teaching appropriate classroom behaviors and improving basic academic skills. Unless a student is working on a GED or other arrangements for education are necessary, the goal is always to prepare the child to reenter the public school system. The on-grounds school continues to grow and change according to the needs of the students. HOW YOU CAN HELP?- Become a child tutor.
