Overview:<br />

KMSPA is focused on matching individual student progress, assessment and achievement with high academic expectations.<br />

The philosophy of the school integrates the core elements of education; reading, writing, math and science, with exposure<br />

to various cultures and the arts. This integration allows each child to develop knowledge socially, linguistically and<br />

cognitively through a broad variety of hands-on experiences.<br />

Students have the opportunity to play a musical instrument, create through stagecraft arts, and experiment with drama,<br />

dance, and movement. The process fosters student problem-solving and critical thinking skills, encouraging individual<br />

learning so that students are able to arrive at conclusions independently.<br />

Special features:<br />

> 2011 National Magnet School of Excellence<br />

> 2009, 2010, 2012 National Magnet School of Distinction<br />

> High School Students participate in daily conservatory training in their area of choice<br />
