Welcome to Killingworth Elementary School

Killingworth Elementary School is a preschool through grade 3 school located in Killingworth, Connecticut. Our motto, “This is the KES Way,” highlights the core values that guide our community: Kindness, Effort, and Safety.

At KES, our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where every child can grow and learn to their fullest potential. We believe in empowering students to think critically, make choices, solve problems, persevere through challenges, take risks with their learning, and develop independence.

Our dedicated staff works collaboratively and is deeply committed to continuous professional growth. We also recognize the importance of the home-school connection and value the strong partnerships we share with our families. This is a caring, involved community where parents and guardians play an active role in supporting their children’s education.
