Principal's Message

July 2025

Dear Students, Families, and Staff,

Welcome to another exciting school year at Young Oak Kim Academy!

Our mission remains clear: to nurture and empower each student to take charge of their own learning journey and become a Compassionate Citizen, Adaptive Learner, Community Advocate, and Collaborative & Analytical Thinker.

This year, we will continue to foster a learning environment where students feel safe, supported, and challenged. Respect, responsibility, and trust are the cornerstones of our school culture, and we ask all students to help make our school a positive and inclusive space for everyone. Through collaboration between students, teachers, and families, we can ensure that each child reaches their highest potential.

Together, let’s make this a year of growth, discovery, and achievement! I look forward to seeing all the incredible things our students will accomplish.

Parents and guardians, your partnership is essential to student success. We welcome open communication and collaboration to support your child’s academic journey. Please stay connected through the Parent Portal, our school website, and school events—we love to see our families actively engaged in our school community!

At Kim Academy, we are committed to providing a well-rounded, 21st-century STEAM education that inspires curiosity, innovation, and a passion for lifelong learning. Our goal is to equip students with the critical thinking skills and adaptability needed to thrive in an ever-evolving world. We encourage our students not only to excel academically, but also to contribute to their communities, embrace diversity, and work toward a better global future.

I am excited for all that this year holds and look forward to working together to make Kim Academy a place where every student feels valued, challenged, and inspired.

Let’s make it a fantastic year!

Sincerely,
Karen Jin
Principal
