About Our School
Kairos is an Ancient Greek word meaning the right, critical or opportune moment. it is often used in contrast to ‘chronos’ (as in chronological) when action is dictated by the chronology of a calendar. It is of educational significance, because there are opportune moments to impart learning with students – there are moments when they are intensely interested in a particular topic or activity and they will learn voraciously, and there are moments when they are not at all and learning is dreary.
When we founded Kairos in 2017, it seemed the time was exactly right for a school whose goal was to create lifelong learners—people who not only possess a great joy for learning but also the ability to adapt and thrive within an ever-changing and increasingly complex global society.
“To consider the school as the place where instruction is given is one point of view. But to consider to the school as a preparation for life is another. In the latter case the school must satisfy all the needs of life.”
