Bruce W. King holds a BS in engineering, an MEd in Education, and AMS Montessori credentials at the lower and upper elementary levels. Bruce joined Soaring Wings in 1993, opening our first elementary classes. With his background in engineering and Boy Scouting, he brought STEM into the curriculum before there was such a term, along with weekly outdoor experiences. Bruce’s classes built trails in the state parks, installed bluebird nest boxes, helped establish the TMMS Wetland Preserve, took field trips into all the manufacturing plants within school bus distance, and initiated the fall and spring family campouts that are now favorite Upper School events. He originated the elementary motto, “We work harder and we play harder, too!” Bruce’s graduates went on to become scientists, artists, athletes, and entrepreneurs. One student was told he would never learn to read. He became a professor of linguistics.
Bruce enjoys managing new projects at the school, keeping it ever-evolving. He raised two successful Montessori children and now delights his six Montessori grandchildren.
