Tom Baker,
president of The Knight Academy, said that the event is open to
anyone in the community, particularly families interested in
learning more about the school, as well as families of current
students. The school is housed in a two-story building with
nine classrooms on the main floor. A music room and cafeteria
will be housed on the second floor. The new location also
features a separate gymnasium that will be used for
physical education classes five
days a week as well as athletic competitions.
The open house will feature tours and student entertainment.
Admissions information also will be available. The academy
currently is enrolling students for next school year. Baker
announced that the added space
available in the new building will support their plan to offer
classes for students entering fifth grade beginning next school
year.
Baker said that the building previously housed a commercial
business. The interior was completely gutted and reconfigured
to accommodate the school. “The classrooms are larger to
accommodate our growing student
enrollment, and each has the
latest technology, including Smartboards and projectors,”
he said.
The Knight Academy offers advanced courses in science, language,
and technology, as well as an extended
school day and school year. Its mission is to provide a
superior educational experience focusing on academic
preparation, and character and physical development.
