There are 60 different courses that make up Kiski's classic, yet innovative liberal arts education, including history, literature, social and natural sciences, and fine arts. These courses mirror the curriculum in the nation's best universities. Student life is active, multifaceted, and based around the campus. Kiski has a nine-hole golf course, two swimming pools, tennis courts, and football, baseball, and soccer fields. There are at least 17 active student organizations, performing-arts groups, and community service opportunities. Kiski requires every student to participate in athletics. Because the goal of the athletic program is to encourage every boy to play a sport at his level of ability, students are not graded on their athletic performance. Kiski offers 13 sports teams (10 at the varsity level), and a range of junior varsity and freshmen teams. There is also a summer golf camp. Kiski boys live two to a room in one of nine dorms. Normally, there are two or more faculty members-as well as their families and pets-in each residence. Every Kiski boy eats meals with a faculty family and adheres to a coat-and-tie dress code.

In 2003, Kiski reinstated a day-student program that allows students to attend without having to reside on campus.

The current headmaster is Chris Brueningsen. Kiski's former headmaster, John A. Pidgeon, transformed the school, which was near financial ruin upon his arrival in 1957, to its current level of success, including the development of a healthy endowment and revitalized campus physical plant. Pidgeon retired in 2004. In the UK and elsewhere, a head teacher is the most senior teacher in a school. ...
