KAIROS ACADEMIES

Description

Kairos Academies is St. Louis’ first personalized learning public charter school, aiming to serve 5th-12th graders in the city’s highest-need community. We empower students to direct their own lives and learning by simulating a real 21st-century learning and work environment-where students make choices over when, where, how, and with whom they work. To support that experience, Kairos provides intensive 1-1 executive function coaching, a world-class curriculum that combines online resources with hands-on projects, and one of Missouri’s only diverse-by-design student populations. Data show that Kairos’ restorative justice and self-directed learning model accelerate student social-emotional and academic growth. According to best-in-class assessments ( Panorama and NWEA MAP), Kairos ranks in the 99th percentile for teacher-student relationships and grow in reading, math, and language use at 2-3x the national average.
