KIMBALL UNION ACADEMY
High school is a coming-of-age story. And at Kimball Union Academy, a small boarding school in the rolling hills of New Hampshire, it goes beyond reading books and studying hard. The magic lies in the small, fleeting moments. It's the snowball fights and camping trips, the late night card games and afternoons playing pond hockey, it's being taught to tie a tie by your advisor and playing in a band with your math teacher.
It's growing socially, personally, and emotionally, as you build confidence, develop resilience, and discover new talents and interests that shape your future. Most importantly, it's creating lifelong memories and lifelong friendships. KUA is that magical place where you can come from any background and leave with the greatest stories. It's a place where you can just be a kid. So why not show this side of education in advertising?
find joy here.
This video was designed to break away from the expected conventions of traditional prep-school advertisements. It's not all about the facilities or test scores - it's about the feeling of belonging, the spark of spontaneity, and the unique culture that makes KUA more than just a school, but a place to truly live. My goal was to invite prospective students and families to see themselves here, to feel the excitement of finding not just a place to study, but a community where life feels vibrant, unforgettable, and full of joy.
This is your canvas.
This video was created to celebrate possibility - the idea that KUA is the place where anything can happen, a blank canvas waiting to be filled with the creativity, passions, and dreams of its students. By showing the untouched beauty of KUA's spaces and the limitless ways students make them their own, the video invites prospective students and families to imagine their own potential here.
