It’s all about the round tables.
“King’s is a school for everyone. It is a school where students meet as equals regardless of their background, nationality or faith – one reason we sit at round tables. It is a school that stands for service to others – symbolized by the ritual of waiting on one’s fellow students. It is a school that values the important work of forging from the world’s great diversity a community of care.” ~ King’s Academy Headmaster John Austin, dedicating the new Hess Family Dining Hall, May 21, 2017
At a ceremony on the morning of May 18, 2017 King’s Academy dedicated the school’s main Dining Hall to the Hess Family, in recognition of John, Susan and Michael Hess’ longstanding support, philanthropy and friendship to King’s Academy.
The Hess family is one of the founding donors of King’s Academy, has been a staunch supporter of His Majesty King Abdullah II’s vision for the school since its conception, and has continued to be one of the school’s major philanthropists in the decade since the school opened.
Michael Hess is New York-based investment professional and son of John and Susan. He currently serves as a member of the Board of Trustees.
