Personalized learning public schools in St. Louis. Empowering students to direct their own lives and learning.
About us
Kairos believes that to prepare students for life after K-12, our schools need to simulate college and career. Instead of "behavior managers" in a traditional classroom, students need to practice managing themselves in a project-based environment that requires not just academic but organizational, social, and emotional skills as well. We personalize learning in St. Louis, cultivating not just freethinkers ready to navigate the Information Age economy, but American citizens, ready to govern themselves and their communities.

Congratulations to our very own Nick Guadiana on completing the Instructional Leadership Fellowship! ILF is a two and a half year program to support and develop aspiring school and instructional leaders. Nick is, of course, an exceptional Instructional Director at Kairos Academies High School. But did you know he'll be building his skillset even further as our high school's Principal In Residence next school year? Just as we develop students into lifelong learners, Kairos invests in making sure our educators and staff are always learning and growing.

I am thrilled to celebrate the remarkable journey and achievements of the six outstanding individuals who have just completed The Instructional Leadership Fellowship (ILF), a two-and-a-half-year program we led in collaboration with The Opportunity Trust, designed for aspiring school and instructional leaders. This program, which I had the honor to help shape and lead with the support of some incredible colleagues (Jonathan Richard, Aida Cruz-Farin, Suzanne Lipovsky, Ayanna Banks), was a comprehensive and rigorous experience that included monthly professional learning sessions, two inspiring out-of-state school visits to Brooklyn and New Orleans, and personalized one-on-one coaching. Please join me in recognizing the incredible accomplishments of our Fellows: Nick Guadiana, Sarah Draper, Marian Fukuyama, Beverly Velloff, Susan Hill, Ed.D., and Amy Willems. Each of these leaders undertook and completed an impact project capstone that highlighted their dedication to enhancing student outcomes. Their projects were nothing short of incredible, demonstrating innovative approaches, unwavering commitment, and measurable impacts on their schools and communities. Nick Guadiana tackled student work analysis in PLCs, bringing transformative changes to his team at Kairos Academies. Sarah Draper developed and led a comprehensive tier-two academic intervention program, resulting in significant academic growth for North Side Community School students. Marian Fukuyama employed 360 wraparound services and interventions for students struggling with attendance, which led to increased attendance and academic outcomes. Beverly Velloff executed a secondary math curriculum rollout that was truly incredible, achieving considerable staff buy-in, and is already leading to early increases in student achievement. Dr. Susan Hill drove the adoption and continued implementation of an elementary literacy-based social studies curriculum, culminating in strong growth in ELA achievement. Amy Willems spearheaded an effort to support her colleagues in utilizing best practices in reading instruction at City Garden Montessori School, resulting in considerable reading achievement gains over the year for students in grades K-2. Their dedication and hard work over these past two and a half years have been truly inspiring. From our monthly learning sessions to the in-depth school visits, and through the personal coaching sessions, these fellows have shown exceptional growth, resilience, and a steadfast commitment to excellence in education. Congratulations, Nick, Sarah, Marian, Beverly, Susan, and Amy! Your leadership and passion for education are making a significant difference in the lives of students. I am excited to see how each of you will continue to influence and inspire in your future endeavors.

Have you met Adaure Nduka? Adaure joined the Kairos team last year as our Principal In Residence and has since stepped up to become our new High School Principal! 🥳 🗺️ Adaure's educational journey began at Texas Tech where she was original a pre-med major. Serving as an advisor and mentor to incoming minority college students ignited her passion for education, leading her to pivot and join Teach for America. For the next decade, Adaure dedicated herself to learning high-quality instruction practices and supported the launch of several new innovative schools in the Dallas ISD. Adaure continued to build her leadership skills, earning her masters at Columbia. As she sought innovative, unconventional experiences in education, Adaure discovered Kairos and our unique focus on empowering students to direct their own lives and learning. 🧠 After her first visit, she knew immediately that this is where she needed to be. Congratulations Adaure! We can't wait to see the excellence and empowerment you challenge our high schoolers to achieve in the new school year! 📈🎉 #IChoseKairos #KairosAcademies #stlmade #stlschools #charterschools #educationleadership #teachforamerica #educationrevolution https://lnkd.in/d8fj-XnF

What makes the Kairos Academies experience special? In a word: OPPORTUNITY. See how Kairos is transforming St. Louis one student at a time from the prospective of AJ, a founding Kairos student. 🧠 "The work I do in class gives me the opportunity to ask questions and really understand the 'why' of what we’re learning." ❤️ "My school community gives me the opportunity to just be myself." 🧑🏽🏫 "My teachers and mentors give me the opportunity to be the best version of myself." 🗺️ "My school gives me the opportunity to really plan for my future." https://lnkd.in/gRdyaZpX
