Curriculum - K6

*** We have selected the following curriculum (in the table below) for the 2026–2027 school year. You may temporarily see references elsewhere on our website to curriculum used at Heritage Leadership Academy; those pages are being updated. The curriculum below was chosen to best fit The Kainos School’s context and to serve the needs of our students and families.

The vision of The Kainos School is to equip our students to know, love and serve Jesus through a gospel-focused, learner-centered education. To that end, we infuse all our core curricular subjects with the Word of God, bringing to light the beauty and wonder of our Creator in math, in the natural world, throughout literature, and through the ages gone by.

Because of our desire to be gospel-focused, some of our curriculum choices are faith-based programs. Others are reputable providers that sync well with the university model. Regardless of the existence of scripted gospel-content, our teachers keep Jesus at the center of all our core curriculum subjects throughout the instructional day. Our goal is that students will develop a Biblical worldview by which they see the entire world around them.

A learner-centered learning environment shifts the focus from the activity of the teacher to the learning of the child. Active methods of learning, like solving problems, explaining one’s thinking, debating, formulating questions, and defending conclusions are part of the classroom experience at The Kainos School. We believe in empowering our students to learn by giving them academic choice and ownership of the learning process in many situations.

In elementary, we focus on math, ELA, and the Biblical Worldview. Most instructional time on our campus days are spent in these curricular areas, honing reading comprehension skills and solidifying a sturdy computational and analytical thinking foundation on which the students can build securely in the middle and high school years. We also offer learner-centered science, social studies, history, and extracurricular courses to round out the students’ day.

Using the side menu to the right, you can view the curriculum choices by subject area and the learning outcomes for each individual grade. Please note that we are continually reviewing and evaluating our curriculum for effectiveness. Changes are periodically made to enhance our ability to meet the needs of our students and our families.
