Residential Life:

Image of Private Day & Boarding School in Knoxville TN The King's Academy maintains high expectations for the daily lives of residential students. Rooms are predominately double occupancy, with some single occupancy rooms.

Living within a residence hall with numerous other students is different from what some may have experienced while living at home. The close friendship that a person develops with a roommate can last a lifetime. One of the greatest influences on a residential student's attitude is the quality of the relationship with his or her roommate.

Weekends are busy times for residential students. Local communities offer a variety of shopping malls, movie theaters, festivals and plays. Students can also enjoy the natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains. Off-campus activities offered include white water rafting, horseback rides, hay rides, cookouts, bowling, ice skating, hiking, and attending various sporting events.
