Academic Overview
Students attend classes on Monday and Wednesday with reinforced learning from home on Tuesday and Thursday. Teachers send home assignments and grids to facilitate home learning. On Friday, we utilize rotations for Math, English, and extra-curricular areas like practical/fine arts, physical education, Teamwork, leadership, Book Club, Storytelling, Nature class, Bible Study AND Life Skills!
KB Academy is designed to prepare your child for life throughout their educational career, whether they graduate and go to the workforce, attend tech school, a two-year college, or a four-year college. Each student will receive grade reports and transcripts (High School students) valid for submission to employers, or higher learning institutions.

Educational Beliefs
e believe school should be first and foremost Biblically true, have rich curriculum that is historically accurate, and a loving environment where kids flourish and have fun. Through the incorporation of hands-on learning and a scaffold teaching method, students can be very successful in understanding concepts before moving to new material. We also believe in giving our kids room to breathe, and flexible testing methods that give our kids the freedom to choose the way they want to prove what they have learned.
While we are not accredited, we do ensure that each child meets the Missouri Learning Standards through a Biblical worldview. We believe education is about life-long learning, not just completing courses in school. We prepare students for life after school, while maintaining the flexibility for them to "just be kids."
School Culture
The absolute BEST thing about school at KB Academy is hearing the laughter of our students filling our classrooms and hallways. Our culture of relentless optimism, joyful collaboration, and creative focus allow our students, teachers and staff to thrive. This culture is an absolute priority.
This commitment to our culture has created an atmosphere of deep connection and friendships within our student body. We are not just a school, but instead, we are a community and family.
Our classrooms are a warm, nurturing and inviting space where students feel safe and encouraged to try new things, wrestle with new knowledge and spread their wings as they grow.
Academic Modifications
Many students thrive in an environment where they have accommodations and modifications. The environment we provide at KB Academy naturally offers multiple accommodations so students thrive.
Our school’s culture embodies:
- Joyful Collaboration to encourage students to work together with peers and their teachers
- Relentless Optimism where we encourage your child to continue trying while pursuing their goals/dreams
- Creative Focus to encourage students to look for outside-the-box ways to reach their goals
- Frequent breaks for new knowledge to be stored and to get the “wiggles” out
- Positive reinforcement and encouragement
- Teachers and staff who strive to know, understand, respect, and encourage their unique personalities
- Clear, concise communication for home day assignments
- Variety of learning styles recognized and honored
If your child needs academic modifications due to learning differences or struggles, KB Academy can assist your child with certain changes. We provide an A.I.M. Plan (Academic Individual Modification Plan) for students who need additional support to thrive in the classroom.
At this time KB Academy is qualified to offer to following minor classroom modifications or things similar to those listed below:
- Complete work or tests in a different manner
- Prove knowledge gained in varied ways
- Modified or alternate projects or assignments
- Classroom placement to allow proper support and encourage growth
- Learning assistants: like Calculators, talk-to-text, word banks
** If your child needs a paraprofessional or classroom assistant, we are unable to offer that level of assistance at this time, due to staffing. Due to the variants in the spectrum of learning needs, if you are unsure if KB Academy is able to meet your child’s needs, please call us! We do not discriminate against students and families, but instead feel deeply that it is unethical to accept students who need a level of attention that we are not able to provide at this time.
