History

The King's Academy was founded by a group of Christian business leaders in August 1970 and opened on the campus of Belvedere Baptist Church in West Palm Beach, Florida.[2] In 1971, the school purchased a 20-acre campus on Cherry Road where it remained until the 2004 school year.[3] In August 2005, The King's Academy moved to its current 60 acre location at Belvedere Road and Sansbury's Way in Palm Beach County, Florida.[4] In 2010, the school opened a second high school location on Caribbean Avenue in Clewiston, Florida.[5]

Since 1970, three presidents have overseen the day-to-day operations of the school: Kye Harris (1970–74), M. Nelson Loveland (1974–99), and Jeffrey M. Loveland (1999–present). In early 2016, the school announced that Randal L. Martin would become its fourth president on June 1, 2016.[6] Since the school's inception, five chairs of the board of governors have served: M. Nelson Loveland (1970–74), Stanley F. Frederick (1974–87), Gene Martin (1987–93), David Fiebig (1993-2006), and Clyde S. Meckstroth (2006–present).[2]
