Student Body and Conduct
For 2011/12 Kimball Union enrolled 315 students, 55% boys, 45% girls. One third of the student body are day students. Although the majority of students are from New England, students come to the academy from twenty-five states and 16 different countries.
Kimball Union Academy has an Honor Code intended to reflect its core values, support its mission, and guide the behavior of its community. In establishing its policies on conduct, Kimball Union considers it a priority to teach its students concern for others. Violations of major school rules are reviewed individually by a disciplinary committee of peers and faculty members, which makes a recommendation to the Head of School. Violations of minor rules are normally handled by a faculty member.

Famous quotes containing the words student, body and/or conduct:
“Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge College is as solitary as a dervis in the desert.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Do but consider this small dust, here running in the glass,
By atoms moved.
Could you believe that this the body was
Of one that loved?
And in his mistress’ flame playing like a fly,
Turned to cinders by her eye?
Yes, and in death as life unblest,
To have’t expressed,
Even ashes of lovers find no rest.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“Sweet peace conduct his sweet soul to the bosom
Of good old Abraham!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
