For the amount of money you’d spend on this place as a “day” school, you’re far better off spending an extra $2 and going to some place that offers some level of quality for your money – like Loomis or Choate. Despite their claims, KO is so far behind the 21st century they’d be very hard pressed to teach your child anything about today’s world. 80% of the time the students run circles around the faculty due to their technical ineptitude (myself included). Why else would I want to spend 3 times the money (we don’t have) to try and turn us into a “Mac” school, when 99% of the business world uses PC’s – for very good reasons.
And if you’re wondering about our endowment? Pffft….what endowment? At this point we’re so broke we’re living paycheck to paycheck! Don’t believe me? Next time you’re on a tour here, as to see the INSIDE of a building? They’ll strategically only show you certain places (Like the lobby of Robert’s theater) because the rest of the campus is in a complete state of shambles and disarray. Ask to use a bathroom and notice the giant pile of dirt around the air ducts, and the peeling wallpaper and stains all over the walls. Really? This is what you want for nearly $40k/year?
If you love your child, send them elsewhere. Feel free to email for more information….I have plenty and I can site my sources…

KO provides an outstanding liberal arts education with an emphasis on character development. As a recent alum, I can attest to the teachers’ thoroughly dedication to their craft. They instill in their students a love of learning and empower the students to take ownership for their work. I’ve never worked so hard and got out as much of something as I did my seven years at KO. I was solidly prepared for college level work.
