W Wyman King Academy has been providing quality education in a Christian environment.
The desire for the best possible education in a safe, disciplined, Christian environment is the same today as it was when King Academy was established.
In 1972 many citizens of our area were concerned that their children were not being offered the best opportunities in education.
They worked hard and sacrificed to build a school to provide the things that were needed to give their children what they thought would be the best education possible.
That was the birth of W. Wyman King Academy. In the years since then many others have joined in to make sure that King Academy remained strong and stayed with the vision of the βpioneers of King.β.
