The King's Academy
School Overview
The King’s Academy is an independent, college preparatory school for grades 6-12 serving 950 students. The school's mission statement guides everything we do: "The King’s Academy is a Christ-centered school that inspires academic excellence, servant leadership, and enduring relationships."
TKA is looking for the best Christian educators! Every staff member at The King’s Academy is vital to the school’s number one mission which is ministry to our students. We know that the quality of the staffs' character inevitably establishes the professional and spiritual quality of the school and has an enormously significant and life-changing influence on the development of the students' confidence and character. That is why, first and foremost, all of The King's Academy staff members are Christ followers who have a passion for teaching, mentoring, and discipling junior high and high school students.
As part of a comprehensive spiritual life program, staff members at TKA have the privilege of mentoring students in a variety of ways. Staff serve alongside students on annual service trips to locations in the U.S. and abroad, participate with students in yearly off-site weekend retreats, and lead small home groups and chapel discussions. The King’s Academy teaching staff includes 76 members, with a total staff of nearly 150. Approximately 90% of classes have less than 25 students, allowing for individual attention and support.
The King's Academy is building a faculty and staff team that celebrates racial, cultural, and ethnic diversity and is committed to teaching a diverse student body in a Christ-centered environment.

School History
In August 1990, six families with seventh-grade girls hired a teacher to help provide the type of education they felt would best honor God. They did not want to have to choose between a school with an excellent academic record and one that nurtured a Christ-like attitude, inspiring spiritual maturity. The families were convinced that God was leading them to pioneer an educational setting that would aspire to both and encapsulate all they envisioned. The following year, the school grew to 28 students, three teachers were hired, and The King’s Academy began in earnest. Because “academy” implied strong learning and to signify that the school belongs to The King, Jesus Christ, the school was named “The King’s Academy.” Over the years, The King’s Academy has grown to 950 students in grades 6-12, drawing families from throughout the Bay Area. However, the overarching purpose of The King's Academy, to transform lives through Christ-centered education, has not changed.
