What Our Families Are Saying

"I am so appreciative of everything the staff have done to support my son throughout his enrollment period. I felt the staff supported my son throughout his achievements and challenges. The education provided prepared him for college and I as a parent never worried when he went off to school."

"Kew-Forest is a unique community that has embraced our family’s diversity and commitment to a high quality education. Every afternoon when Frankie skips out of the school bus, the joy and excitement of her day at K-F is evident; it’s a magical thing to witness. K-F is a place where strengths are developed and challenges are overcome, and everyone is completely committed to Frankie's growth as a student and mindful world citizen."
