I am also a student at KKC and I completely agree with everything written in the box above, I like how in this school there is not a lot of drama like in other schools but the rules are ridiculous.A couple got suspended for 3 days for public display of affection. Every move you make, just more stress.

I am a former student here at KKC & everything went well at first. But then once everything fell into place, my surroundings became nothing but STRESS. Every daym I stressed about school & nothing else. I wouldn't recommend this school for those who aren't commited to doing a whole lot of work. Although, I can say that this school somewhat prepared me for college.
