Student Life

Living Life Together

High school is about so much more than what happens in the classroom. At TKA, students find their people, discover their purpose, and make memories that last a lifetime - all within a community that puts Christ at the center of everything.

Travel

Travel is an integral part of the experience at The King’s Academy, offering students domestic and international opportunities to explore new cultures, bring history to life, and build meaningful relationships with their peers.

Mission Trips

Through a partnership with Hope Project International, TKA students serve internationally by helping construct homes for families in need while experiencing God’s work firsthand in communities around the world. This life-changing trip is a favorite among students and consistently reaches capacity each year.

Class Trips

Class trips are a meaningful part of the high school experience at TKA, offering students opportunities throughout the years to travel, explore, and build lasting memories with their classmates. From smaller grade-level experiences to the senior trip, students create unforgettable memories with their classmates.

Student Leadership University

At The King’s Academy, students have the opportunity to participate in Student Leadership University (SLU), a three-tiered leadership experience designed to develop Christ-centered leaders who are equipped to influence the world around them. Through immersive travel, powerful teaching, and hands-on experiences, students grow in their understanding of leadership, purpose, and their role in God’s plan.

Study Abroad

Students who have completed Spanish II have the incredible opportunity to spend two weeks studying at the Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca in Salamanca - immersing themselves in the language, culture, and rich history of one of Spain’s most beautiful cities.

It’s more than a trip - it’s a life-changing experience that brings language learning to life.

Extracurricular Trips: Spotlight on TKA Jazz

Students across multiple disciplines within the Smith Family Conservatory for the Arts have the opportunity to participate extracurricular trips to exciting destinations across the United States, providing meaningful real-world performance and learning experiences. Last year, TKA’s Jazz Ensemble traveled to Washington, D.C., where they had the incredible honor of performing at the White House.

With performances across multiple stages and access to thrilling rides and attractions, students experience an unforgettable blend of worship, music, and fun.

Senior Luncheon & Retreat

Beginning in the fall, seniors experience the impactful senior retreat, creating space to bond, grow, and have fun as a class. In the spring, students continue these meaningful traditions with a special off-campus luncheon alongside their parents, celebrating their final season at TKA.
