Kairos offers a private school experience (like AltSchool or Khan Lab School) at a public school price (read: free). Our diverse-by-design, personalized learning approach empowers students to direct their own lives and learning. We use research-based restorative justice practices and an award-winning curriculum called Summit Learning.
Although Silicon Valley engineers maintain our online platform, teachers drive learning at Kairos.

Our curriculum, designed by professors at Stanford and Harvard, is based on a century of research.
your child is not average
So we won't give them an average, cookie-cutter education. Coaches personalize each student's experience, checking in every other day, updating parents weekly, and guiding growth year after year. By graduation, your child will be a self-directed learner, leader, and citizen—ready to thrive in a liberal arts college, a 21st-century career, and a free society.

Ambitious Plan
With an executive functioning coach, students set individualized growth goals and strategize decisions about when, where, how, and with whom to study.
2
Custom Supports
Students work on challenging material at their own pace, receiving targeted support in small classes and through their personalized learning platform.
3
Reflective Growth
At the end of learning cycle, students reflect on whether they met their goals, identify idiosyncratic needs or strengths, and plan how to grow even more next time.
