The Knox Difference

In the tradition of great, "small " secondary boarding and day schools, Knox enrolls fewer than 200 students in grades 6-12 each year in a community where every child is known. There simply is no "back row" at Knox. Every adult, from the Headmaster to the Administration, and from the teaching faculty to the staff, serves as a mentor, a role model, and a "parent" who understands that young people require structure, rise to standards of excellence, and thrive with constant encouragement.

Our students discover quickly that in a small school they have a voice; they have a unique opportunity to not only participate in clubs, sports, and other activities, but also to take on leadership roles that truly impact the life of the school. At Knox, students can take an A.P. course, play on the team, create a new club, and lead a classroom discussion.

This means that in addition to becoming exceptional as scholars, our students learn and grow as young men and women of strong character, with a desire to serve, to listen and collaborate, and with a conviction that life is a joyous experience.
