There are so many attributes that make a school right for a child, and so it's hard to say what make any one school "great". The schools you’re trying to compare here are quite different: KOA is one of America’s oldest sporting schools with a deep history, exciting future and diverse student body from 26 countries. We maintain no religious affiliation and have an informal “business casual” dress code.

We maintain no religious affiliation and have an informal “business casual“ dress code. Trying to compare these schools is on the surface a hard task. That said, Kimball Union Academy has so many outstanding features that have long made it a school of choice for students from China and 25 other countries around the world. Our close partnership with Dartmouth Collegeaffords our students access and comfort with all that an Ivy League school has to offer. We enjoy the privilege of being able to select from a large and talented applicant pool around the world, and especially in China where we maintain deep ties and popularity. Our location in New Hampshire's Upper Valley provides unparalleled access to skiing, mountain biking, and golf alongside a tradition of excellence in ice hockey. With over 210 years of preparing students for all that comes next, KUA has happily welcomed students from China and seen them off to schools like Cornell Dartmouth, Yale, UCLA and many more. Your question is inherently a challenging one, and there is no one right answer but KUA has so much to offer your students and we look forward to welcoming them to our campus, The Hilltop, very soon!
