What We Stand For:
Our purpose is to transform lives through Christ‐centered education.

Our Mission Statement:   
· We are a Christ‐centered college preparatory junior and senior high school for students who have teachable hearts and coachable spirits.
· We offer a loving, family environment where students are encouraged to grow in their relationships with Jesus, their family, teachers, and others.
· We are committed to developing God’s best for each student spiritually, academically, morally and socially through every program and activity.

Our Vision:
Many schools educate, few change lives. At The King’s Academy in Sunnyvale, students graduate with a sense of belonging and a sense of purpose. At The King’s Academy, students know they matter. They thrive in our safe, wholesome environment. With a low teacher-student ratio, your student will receive loving, individual attention from teachers and staff. The King’s Academy Spiritual Life program and annual service trips prepare students to make a difference to others. We also offer a stellar Visual and Performing Arts program known throughout the Bay Area (band, drama, vocal music, orchestra, dance, art) and competitive athletics, offering 58 sports teams.
