Every great school begins with a simple act of love.
In 1998, Elizabeth and Jacob K. Mathai opened their home — and their hearts — to give their son Joel and niece Sara the very best start in life. Using Letterland, an internationally acclaimed phonics programme, Elizabeth watched with joy as learning became something her students didn’t just do – it was something they looked forward to.
Word spread quickly. Other parents took notice, and what began as a humble home classroom soon blossomed into something far greater. In June 1999, driven by a deep passion to see children develop and excel, The King’s Kindergarten was officially born.
By 2003, it was clear that the vision was bigger still. Guided by a clear vision from the Lord and responding to a growing community of families who believed in what The King’s School stood for, the school expanded into a full-fledged institution, registered under The King’s Educational Trust. In the years that followed, the school earned its affiliation with Cambridge University, becoming a recognised Cambridge International Centre.
Today, what started with two students in a family home has grown into a distinguished higher-secondary school – with over 900 students, 122 dedicated staff members, and a legacy that continues to grow.
We’ve come a long way. And the best is still ahead.
