KCD’s exceptional reputation for academic excellence, extensive extracurricular programs and extraordinary faculty has resulted in an unparalleled growth in enrollment over the past decade, all while the school’s financial health has never been better.

Enrollment has increased by 125 students over the past four years and by 174 students, or 24%, since the time of the last capital campaign in 1997/98

The school continues to run balanced budgets, while retaining the important ability to invest in new programs and initiatives. Over the past three years, KCD has invested $3.5 million from internally generated funds in the following strategic initiatives:

• $1.5 million in the student and faculty use of computer and internet technology;
  
  
• $1.0 million in support of academic excellence, including competitive faculty compensation, industry-leading support for professional development, scholarships to support diversity and programs for international exchange; and
  
  
• $1.0 million to support the growing athletic program and for the timely renewal of facilities.
