Academic curriculum

A High Academic Standard

The academic program at Royal Kids International places an emphasis on every aspect of our student’s growth and development. We take advantage of the natural curiosity students possess by having our teachers present new information in creative ways and teach through exploratory experiences.

Our general curriculum includes a variety of challenging courses that meet or exceed state requirements. Suitable class sizes and exceptional, qualified teachers allow Royal Kids International to offer an intimate and inclusive educational environment, while also ensuring each student receives the individualized attention and support they need.
