Headmaster's Welcome

The Knox School provides a home by the shore for a diverse community of enthusiastic and scholastically motivated students. Here, students learn to be exceptional as they develop a strong academic foundation and an appreciation for different perspectives, all the while drawing strength from their unity of purpose.  At Knox, we hope to enrich each student with our embracing community, inspiring teachers, enduring friendships and a limitless array of opportunities to learn and to lead.

Our school has created an environment in which individual and intellectual growth are prized and valued. With the support of an exceptional faculty, Knox students explore appropriate modes of observation and expression, cooperating as they develop their individual strengths and points of view.  Our students find and refine their "voices" during their years here. The small size of our community and classes guarantees that each student is known and that all are valued.  We are committed to helping students grow as unique individuals and to respect what is unique in others.

I hope you will take the time to browse the entire Knox website and learn a little more about a place that many hold dear to their hearts.  The Knox School offers a profoundly optimistic, dynamically diverse, family atmosphere in the very best tradition of American boarding and day schools.  We appreciate your interest in our school, and we look forward to assisting you in your search for a secondary school that best meets your needs.

Sincerely,

George Allison
Headmaster
