Own your journey at Kingswood Oxford
Kingswood Oxford is a transformative day school that engages students through real-world and interdisciplinary learning opportunities by expanding the classroom beyond our campus and partnering with people and institutions in the greater Hartford area. We currently have 515 students from over 62 towns in grades 6-12. Our signature educational approach develops compassionate collaborators, ethical problem solvers, and active citizens who lead and serve in the wider community.
At Kingswood Oxford, we believe that we have a responsibility to prepare our students for success in college and for future jobs. In addition to a traditional college preparatory curriculum, we provide our students with a deeper set of knowledge and skills. Students confront diverse ideas and experiences that challenge the way they think.
It is important to build an authentic community with our families. Our independent day school model values a partnership with parents in the responsibility of raising kind, thoughtful and intelligent young adults. With our exceptional faculty and staff, we are evolving our curriculum, campus, and operations in real, measurable ways to deliver on our vision of a transformative educational experience.
Our philosophy is that school can be more engaging and our students will learn more deeply when they have a sense of belonging and are willing to take intellectual risks. All students have the potential to affect positive change, but this transformation doesn’t happen without help. They need guidance. They need a push. That’s where we come in. At Kingswood Oxford, students are pushed to take risks, move out of their comfort zone. Leave the ordinary bounds of school behind and change the way they think about learning. And ultimately, they will change how they see the world, and themselves.
