Enrolling my boys at KTE was the best decision I could have made. My 6th grader was more than prepared for middle school. He developed great study habits that he will carry with him throughout middle, high, and college. In addition to academics, he built his confidence and formed great friendships. The teachers go out of their way to ensure their students are successful and strong in both academics and social skills.

There are just not enough words to describe how happy I am with this school. The principal, Suzanne Shall, is the best there is. She does an incredible job leading the administration, teachers and staff to give the students the absolute best educational experience there is. The dedication from these teachers is everything a parent could ask for. I could not imagine my son going anywhere else!

Lovely school. We miss KTE as we moved and son was transferred. Loved the teachers and staff. They have a nice environment there for learning.
