Summary: We strive to inspire our students as they begin their academic journey at Kimball Union by encouraging them to try subjects they might not have otherwise explored, and pursue familiar ones in greater depth. From the arts to the sciences, we use a wide net to capture the world’s nuances which allow our students to discover themselves and the world along the way. For instance, Laura never knew that she wanted to study biology, but after her sophomore year at Kimball Union, she fell for its fascinating and complex nature. We open doors to new possibilities by exposing our students to many different disciplines. It’s a wonderful way for them to become inspired, to really find out what they want to accomplish with their education.

Summary: The Philosophy of Kimball Union Academy’s College Advising Office “Independence and Interdependence” In keeping with Kimball Union Academy’s objective to foster independence within a context of interdependence, the College Advising Office strives to educate, guide, support, and advise students as they go through the process of self-assessment, research, application, and college choice. We celebrate and honor the diversity of achievements, interests, aspirations, and backgrounds our students represent, and as such we work tirelessly to support our students’ applications to a wide variety of colleges and universities. Our goal is to help students find a group of colleges that meets their individual needs — academic, social, athletic or artistic. We try to help students to find colleges that best fit them, not merely those that have the highest “name recognition.” A “great school” is first and foremost a “great match.” We invite students and parents to take full advantage of the abundant resources offered by KUA’s College Advising Office, working together to identify these “great matches.” While the search is a collaborative process, ultimately it is the student who will be going to college. To that end, we expect and empower each student to be the leader in this process and to take initiative. Each student will own his or her process from start to finish.

Summary: KUA is a unique school for many reasons and in ALL seasons. Blessed with a beautiful campus environment near Dartmouth College in the Upper Valley of the Connecticut River, we have formed special partnerships with our neighbors that enhance the opportunities for study in the summer. You can join us to learn a new language, or improve on one you are presently studying, the quick and fun way through our renowned ALPs at Kimball Union Rassias Method program. Taught by staff trained by the internationally recognized program begun by Dartmouth Professor John Rassias, ALPs (Accelerated Language Programs) immerses students in a comprehensive language learning environment. Master teachers and their assistants lead students in activities, drills, songs, and stories designed to build basic language skills and cultural understanding while having fun and making many new friends from around the world. Participants range in ages from 11 to 17, and interact with native-speaking students who come to the summer program to learn English. The following languages will be taught during the ALPs at Kimball Union 2010 program: Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, and English as a Second Language. You can also come to KUA during the summer session to take part in our award winning E.E. Just Environmental Leadership Institute, with programs that train tomorrow's leaders in environmental issues like climate change and introduce students to the study of cultures and ecosystems as far away as Costa Rica and Greenland or as close as the White Mountain region of New Hampshire. Or combine your interest in learning a new language and sustainability by taking part in the ALPS Rainforest Adventure in Costa Rica, a 21 day opportunity to learn Spanish in one of the most fascinating ecosystems in the world.
