Enrichment

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.
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.
