"I was fascinated
by this thing: 'homeroom.' There it was, a chance to interact and socialize
with other people. You don't get that feature in public schools. Having
the freedom of walking around without pressure was amazing. I enjoy having
to rely on myself to have an excellent education." -- Ernest Espinoza, Kino class of 2002, from his Looking Back essay. |
- An extremely low student/teacher ratio (roughly 6:1) and small-size classes.
- A safe and friendly environment with an emphasis on community.
- A roughly 1:7 computer/student ratio, with both Mac and PCs, so there is rarely
an instance when students have to wait. Technical accessories include scanners,
digital cameras, and editing equipment.

Early Childhood. French is offered to some ages as well, and Latin is available
by request. Japanese available on campus with independent teacher.

forge and welding, and a Video/Media-editing area.
