Digging Earth Day

There's nothing quite like sinking your hands into a rich pile of dirt to start the school day. On these beautiful spring days, our campus greenhouse becomes a warm, sunlit living classroom. While our students are busy planting the seeds for the coming season, they are simultaneously growing their knowledge of sustainability, climate change, and the food systems that nourish us all. This isn't just about gardening—it's about connection of people, planet, and place. Last week, the entire school celebrated Earth Day, providing opportunities for every student to find their green thumb—whether through music, cooking, energy, math, or a paintbrush. Happy spring!

All-School Presidents Ready to Take the Helm

Scenes From: Prom 2026

We returned to the Roaring '20s for a festive and fun prom, an annual spring tradition that brings together so many in the community for dinner, dancing, and a whole lot of Gatsby-level glamour! KUA proved that a century later, no one knows how to celebrate like we do.

Faculty Appreciation Week!

From classes to games to performances to all-school dinners, faculty build the KUA family at every turn.

The strength of a Kimball Union education is found in the people who build our community. Join KUA in celebrating Faculty Appreciation Week to express our gratitude for generations of dedicated faculty.

We invite you to share a memory and make a gift to the KUA Fund in honor of a faculty member, past or present, who made a lasting impact on your KUA experience.
