The Greater Boston area offers dozens of exceptional middle and secondary school options—from public exam schools and specialized charters to highly respected independent schools—and Kingsley students have been extremely successful in many of them. About 90% of Kingsley families choose an independent school or exam school for middle school. Beginning in Fifth Grade, Kingsley actively works with each family on placement to next schools.

Kingsley provides placement counseling to help your child find the best next school—one in which they will flourish academically, socially, and in the development of their character. The conversations between each family and the Director of Next School Counseling will offer families the information and tools necessary to make a good choice. Families are in charge of this process, and Kingsley will support each family in their work.
Where available, we can share with parents the track record of previous students accepted to choice schools and help parents understand the nuances of each school’s application process. The Director of Next School Counseling can provide valuable information to families regarding potential school matches, as well as personal and academic insights necessary for a cogent application narrative. Such information can traditionally be found in Progress Reports and at Parent-Teacher Conferences.
As part of each application, the faculty will also write recommendations that showcase each child’s strengths. Each application will also include a letter from the Director of Elementary and any other faculty member who could illuminate the student’s special characteristics.
Kingsley provides the opportunity to be yourself. You don’t learn the same way as other people in your class, who all have different strengths and interests. This helps all of us students to grow and become our best selves. At Kingsley, I’ve also learned that as the world around you grows and changes, you can too. But it’s important to be true to yourself.
