Mission and Vision Mission: Kairos empowers students to direct their own lives and learning.
Vision By offering a 21st-century school model, Kairos will empower parents with a meaningful alternative to the traditional structures that have subjugated children and segregated families in our city for over a century. If Kairos achieves its mission, our graduates will develop the academic function to unlock post-secondary opportunities and the executive function to thrive in whichever opportunity they choose. Wherever they go, graduates will exercise meaningful agency among their peers, leading themselves and the institutions that structure their communities.
