What is a
Kingdom Purpose Center?

The KPC model is consistent across the network, with flexibility for local needs and context at each location.

Mentorship & Relationships

Caring adults who invest in and walk with scholars.

Character & Purpose

Helping scholars grow in character, confidence, and a sense of purpose.

Student Experience

A safe, welcoming, and engaging environment where scholars can thrive.

Enrichment

Arts, STEM, recreation, leadership, and more.

Family & Community

Partnering with families and local communities for greater impact.

Structure creates opportunity

Our Foundation

Our Core Values

These values shape our academics, relationships, leadership, decision-making, and the entire KPC student experience.

Helpful

Come alongside when needed. Step up and contribute. Always pursue excellence. We exist to serve our students, our families, our community, and each other.

Humble

Set aside ego. Seek first to understand. Put kids first. We lead with curiosity and openness, never with arrogance.

Aware

Be perceptive and tuned in. Listen, engage, and give grace. Understand the consequences of your actions and decisions. Context matters; we operate with wisdom.

Driven

Be motivated to reach ambitious goals. Work with urgency. Continually push beyond what is comfortable or familiar. Complacency is not an option for the children we serve.

Expanding opportunity

Beyond Academics: Developing the Whole Scholar

We focus on the whole scholar — mind, character, leadership, creativity, health, and purpose — so they can thrive in school, in community, and in life.

STEAM & Innovation

Hands-on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics experiences expose scholars to problem-solving, technology, design, construction, innovation, and emerging career fields.

Purpose & Character Development

CITRS and other character-development experiences help scholars explore identity, values, responsibility, relationships, decision-making, gratitude, perseverance, and purpose.

Leadership & Civic Engagement

Scholars learn that their voices matter. Civic education, service projects, leadership opportunities, public speaking, and community engagement help them understand how they can contribute to their communities.

Career & Entrepreneurship

JET, career exploration, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, workplace readiness, mentoring, and the emerging Business Builders concept. At participating sites, older scholars may gain supervised, age-appropriate experience through real community projects and learn how skills can become careers and businesses.

Music & Creative Expression

Music, performance, visual arts, storytelling, and other creative experiences allow scholars to discover talents and develop confidence.

Civics

Scholars learn that their voices matter through civic education, service, public speaking, and community engagement. These experiences help them understand how they can contribute to the communities around them.

Entrepreneurship

Scholars are introduced to entrepreneurship, financial literacy, workplace readiness, and mentoring. At participating sites, older scholars may gain supervised, age-appropriate experience through community projects and learn how their skills can grow into careers or businesses.

Health, Recreation & Wellness

Gym time, recreation, movement, team activities, social-emotional development, and wellness experiences support healthy bodies, relationships, and minds.

Discovering Purpose

Scholars are encouraged to explore their identity, values, strengths, and purpose. Through academics, mentorship, and character development, they grow in understanding how their gifts can strengthen their families and communities.
