King's Virtual Open House

For the health and safety of our applicants and the King’s community, we have created a virtual Open House experience for the month of May.

Future applicants need to register in order to participate. They will receive a link that will give them access to all of the information sessions we have planned. If applicants cannot attend specific sessions, they'll be posted on the website.

Applicants can also see King's through the new 360 virtual tour.
