Kyrene Traditional Academy
A highly-structured, disciplined environment
Kyrene’s hallmark of child-centered education is incorporated with the core concepts of “traditional.” A Kyrene traditional education will embrace:
- A highly-structured, disciplined environment where students engage in learning through rigor and inquiry; study of classic literature and language; Kyrene curriculum with Spalding and Saxon taught as prescribed in program manuals.
- During direct, whole-group instruction, students will be seated in rows facing the front of the room.
- Other instructional times will allow for more flexibility in grouping and delivery mode, as appropriate for the lesson.
- Prescribed dress code; and strong expectation of direct parental involvement in their child’s education.
Mission:
To provide a strong academic foundation for all students to excel, while ensuring a safe, supportive, and caring environment in partnership with families and the community. KTA students utilize fundamental and higher level thinking skills to achieve academic success. Students are respectful, self-disciplined, conscientious, and motivated members of society. The learning packet below provides parents with a basic overview of the structure of traditional schools and the most common instructional resources used by these schools.
