Student Body
The King’s Academy campus was built to accommodate 600 students, of which about 75 percent are boarding students. Boarding students can choose to be either week-day boarders (returning home for the weekend) or full-time boarders.
For the 2010-2011 academic year, 430 students were enrolled at the school, representing some 24 countries in the Middle East and around the world. Of these students, 40 percent are female and 60 percent are male.
The school draws students from diverse ethnic, geographic, religious and economic backgrounds, and between 15 and 30 percent of King’s Academy’s tuition revenue has been set aside for financial aid, in addition to an endowment fund for scholarships.
