Koinonia Academy or "KA" as we call it is an extremely unique and beautiful school. Since it consists of grades from Pre-school to 12th grade, there is a vast and vibrant culture. Countless people have called KA a community of family or a second home. The education offered is valuable along with the relationships formed while at KA. Of course KA has its downsides and annoyances just like any other school, but all in all KA has made me the human I am and has taught so much more than I can even comprehend.

I grew up at Koinonia I started as a kindergartner. I had the same friends and the same class until graduation. It meant a lot to grow up in a place where I knew who everyone was and everyone knew me. It had it's challenges, you can't really stay mad at someone when you are forced to see them everyday. it taught me conflict resolution and it taught me how to disagree with another person's point of view without tearing them down. Koinonia is a good school to make close friends.
