Kindergarten Entry Program and Grades 1-6
Kingsley’s Elementary building is located at 26 Exeter Street, at the corner of Newbury and Exeter Street in Back Bay, just one block down Newbury Street from our Preschool building. The Exeter Street campus, formerly the landmark Exeter Street Theatre, and earlier, The First Spiritual Temple, is a grand, Romanesque-style building designed in 1883 by William Richardson of Hartwell & Richardson, Boston. As a theatre from 1914-1994, the building was heralded for its character and unique ambiance. Our children understand that we have been entrusted with responsibility for a glorious architectural treasure.
Our Elementary building opened in September, 2005, providing a dynamic school experience for students and teaching staff. The renovation focused on the specific needs of Elementary students and includes six large, sun-lit classrooms for students in Kindergarten through grade six. Each of the classrooms is fully equipped with curricular materials and wireless technology. In addition the facility now includes music and art studios, science and health laboratory, library and technology center, community space, world language room, performance/presentation space and academic support spaces. We have also designed a special location for our after-school program, including enrichment classrooms. The former theatre lends itself to an elementary environment with its magnificent open space, large stained glass windows and high ceilings.
Current enrollment at the Elementary building is 108 students. We expect to grow to 125 students in the next few years.
The Head of School, Development and Business Offices are located at the Exeter Street building.
