In order to promote good character in its students, The King’s Academy regularly gives its students the opportunity for community service.



This year, TKA’s students donated more than 2,000 hours of labor to agencies throughout Palm Beach County as part of King’s Spring Missions Week. Jim Kolar, High School Assistant Principal, explained TKA’s emphasis on service, “One of our purposes of TKA’s Spring Missions week is to make an impact in our community.  We know that we can only accomplish that by our actions.  We chose the theme “Serve” for this school year and wanted to provide opportunities for our students to do just that—serve in our community and let those around us know that we care.”
From March 17th to 19th, faculty from King’s took every grade level to serve off campus on a Community Project.  Junior High students had the opportunity to serve at the Grassy Waters Preserve on Northlake Boulevard.  They planted nearly 1,000 plants and trees at the Preserve, the sole source of drinking water for the City of West Palm Beach.  High School students partnered with the Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority and their “Paint Your Heart Out” program.  Tenth graders painted a community wall in Riviera Beach.  Other high school students painted at Union Missionary Baptist Church on Broadway Avenue.  “The Pastor and staff were ecstatic at what our students accomplished in those two days.    It was amazing to see how our students worked and interacted with each other,” said Kolar.
