KC High

KC High has a vision to create competent, courageous, caring citizens of the world, empowered to build a better tomorrow.

24 years ago I started KC High as an after school program with a singular vision of creating an environment to prepare today’s kids to become better global citizens of tomorrow – an environment that sought to foster peer learning, celebrate diversity, and a joy for learning. Stemming from Howard Gardner’s concepts of multiple intelligences, we realized early on, that our teaching practices had to suit different minds. Children think spatially or logically and some are hands on and want to touch, feel and try things out. The Kids Central way was born out of not just recognizing this need, but celebrating this diversity and creating a curriculum that fed into these multiple intelligences.
