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
Headmaster
