About MKA 

Headmaster's Welcome

Welcome to The Montclair Kimberley Academy. I encourage you to thoroughly explore our website and learn about our award-winning and exceptional Pre-K-12 coeducational independent day school.

MKA is a robust school community with over 1025 students enrolled on three campuses (Pre-K-3, 4-8, 9-12). We function as one school through a clearly articulated curriculum whose hallmarks include our Pre-K-12 Ethics and Formation of Character program, the Core Works program, and the Writing Challenge. At MKA we are united by the things that count, such as our Mission Statement, Our Common Purpose, and the ideals of our motto, “Knowledge, Vision, Integrity.“

We are a school with a history that stretches back to 1887, and we are an institution that promotes and honors creativity, humor, hard work and civility. Our curriculum provides an extraordinary array of academic, artistic, athletic and leadership opportunities for students. The richness of the program can be immediately experienced through the diversity of our community and the quality of the faculty, staff and administration.

Our teachers are coaches, advisors and mentors, as well as being artists, scholars, and athletes in their own right. They have chosen MKA for the caliber of the student body, the quality of our programs, our positive partnership with parents and an institutional commitment to each teacher’s professional development that is second to no other school in the country. Together, we are guided by what is best for our students and we provide a challenging, transformative and nurturing school environment.

Come and visit MKA; we are a school where great things happen every day.

With all best wishes,


Thomas W. Nammack
