Parent feedback includes comments that every teacher is genuinely committed to each student's success in academics and social development, that a student is feeling more sure of herself academically and is excited to learn new things and be challenged, and that Kairos has been a “silver lining” for one family, with their child gaining confidence in her abilities and being encouraged to step outside her comfort zone.
