kairos (Anc. Greek): "the opportune moment"
Now is the opportune moment to rethink education from the ground up. At Kairos, we replace lectures with engaging projects and dictatorial "behavior managers" with 1-1 executive functioning coaches who help students learn how to manage their own schedule and work habits. Kairos students practice navigating real-world choices (such as when, where, how, and with whom to work) within a safe, supportive school environment. Kairos develops students not just into freethinkers, ready to thrive in a modern economy, but self-governing citizens, ready to lead both themselves and their communities.
Recognized for Innovation
Kairos' approach to student choice and self-direction was highlighted by Forbes as one of the country's most innovative educational models to prepare kids for the 21st century.
Recognized for Academics
Kairos students learn 2-3x more each year than the average student. Charter School Growth Fund, which grows the nation's best public charter schools, is supporting Kairos' unique personalized learning model.
Recognized for Diversity
Kairos is intentionally integrating St. Louis through restorative justice, teaching children how to work and play across lines of difference. We are honored to to have been named by the Diverse Charter Schools Coalition as one of the only diverse-by-design schools in the St. Louis area.
Some Required Mumbo Jumbo (MOCAP)
We're required by law to share that Missouri has a statewide virtual school program called MOCAP. The quality is murky at best. Nevertheless, Kairos will pay for those courses if students really want them. We're pretty sure they won't. Our curriculum and teachers already knock it out of the park.
