What does it look like for multiple ages to learn together?

It's so beneficial for multiple ages/grades to work and learn together! Learning this way ensures that everyone is learning at his/her ability level and pace. Instruction can easily be personalized for each child when everyone is learning together.

Bible, science, and social studies is taught in a large-group setting, while ELA and math are taught in small group settings based on readiness.

Our school hours are 8:00am - 3:00pm for full-time students. Half day students will come from 8:00-noon.

All students are dismissed at noon on Fridays.

How is the day structured?

Core instruction for all students occurs from 8:00am-noon. After lunch, full-time students will engage in meaningful play/ free choice time or work with teachers on more academics in a one-on-one or small group setting.

Do you provide meals or snacks?

Full-time students will bring a packed lunch each day. A snack rotation is also implemented for full-time students.

Do you follow the traditional school calendar?

Our school calendar closely follows the public schools in our area. We take fall, winter, spring, and summer breaks with opportunities for tutoring and enrichment over the summer.

No! We value your time as a family once you leave school for the day. We work hard to get all school work accomplished at school instead of at home.

Are you a member of any professional organizations?

What is expected of parents of Kairos students?

We expect parents to play an active role in their child's education. This means parents will regularly communicate with Kairos about the educational and emotional needs of their child as needed.

Parents are responsible for timely drop off and pick up, timely communication when their student will be tardy or absent, and timely payment of tuition.

Do you perform background checks on employees and volunteers?

Yes! We care about the safety of all of our students! Background checks are run on any adult who will be present in the school during the school day.
