Each student is uniquely gifted with strengths, talents and abilities that will chart his or her future path. At The King’s Academy, students are encouraged to seek out and step into God’s plan for their future. Through our comprehensive college advising program, students begin individual college planning at the end of their sophomore year, continuing regularly throughout the senior year. Students are encouraged to find the right college fit where a student will thrive academically, personally, and spiritually. Our team strives to educate and empower students to identify and meet their collegiate goals. TKA’s college advisors are dedicated solely to college advising. The TKA student’s journey will include individual and group college advising, and multiple opportunities to connect with admission representatives at our annual college fair, college admissions nights, rep visits, and college tours. TKA graduates have consistently earned admission to the most competitive colleges including Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University, Harvard College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Washington University in St. Louis, Vanderbilt University, and University of California Berkeley.
College Tours
Each year, the College Advising office plans college tours for our high school students. These take place within the state of Florida. Visiting colleges and universities helps students gain insight about program offerings, campus life and housing. This experience greatly enhances their ability to apply for and select colleges that will fit their academic and personal goals.
Annual College Fair
TKA hosts an annual college fair with over 100 colleges and universities represented. Students are able to speak to representatives from participating schools right on the TKA campus!
