Research Kingswood-Oxford School private Schools in Westfield, Massachusetts

“Kingswood-Oxford Middle School was a terrific experience for me. At the school, you get the feeling that teachers and faculty really care about you and teachers are available and always willing to meet with students. There are many academic programs offered here; pretty much as many as you would want to take. Art and music programs here are outstanding. It is required that you participate in a sport each season and all sports are represented. Do not get scared about this however because it s not required for you to be on a competitive team that plays other schools. Parents have the opportunity here to become very involved. They can volunteer at school events and can meet with or talk to teachers as often as they would like. Overall, a great choice if you want a comfortable environment that offers the opportunity to get a real one-on-one relationship with the faculty.”

“My son attended K-O for grades 6-12. As a result of the fine education he obtained at this school he is attending an excellent college. At K-O he was encouraged to develop leadership skills, to be an active participant in athletics, and to be responsible for his own learning. I am proud to tell my friends that he was a graduate of this fine school. However, I am somewhat disappointed by the frequent large turnover of talented staff. Rumor has it that this is due to lack of support from the school administration. What did I like best about K-O? There are numerous opportunities for students to explore creative outlets for sharing their learning. The Strength and Conditioning program that slowly developed under the guidance of a youthful and enthusiastic coach helped my son develop more confidence as an athlete and as a student.”

“My child attended for his 6th grade year only. The distance of our town compared to the school was the major reason for his decision not to return. He is now in 8th grade and states that if we lived closer to the school, therefore allowing more opportunity for him to spend time with his school friends (outside of school) on a more regular basis, he would have stayed. He does miss the caring teachers and especially the challenging instruction at KO. Having had a year at KO and now being back in the public has schools has given him a true sense of appreciation for what KO offered. As parents, we could not have asked for a better, well rounded year for our son. Academics, Sports and social events are nicely balanced. Although he only spent 1 year, he walked away with a lifetime of usefull information.”

“I am actually an alumn of Kingswood-Oxford (Class of 02) and having been in college for a couple of years now, I can say that Kingswood-Oxford has truly prepared me for college work and given me the leadership skills that will be essential in the future. Kingswood is a great school with great people who honestly care about the Kingswood-Oxford Community. I plan on sending my children to Kingswood-Oxford when the time comes.”

“I feel that this is a school where children become not adults but snooty children.”

“My child has learned so much and has grown as a person because of this school. I would never send my child anywhere else.”
