We are thrilled to announce an exciting partnership between our organization and Kansas City International Acadamy (KCIA). This collaborative goal is to revolutionize the learning experience for KCIA students by transforming their multi-purpose room into four state-of-art- classrooms. Each room will be able to teach a specific subject, including algebra, reading, science and special education.

This project's main objective is to create the best learning environment that will encourage academic growth and excellence. By dividing the multi-purpose room into four separate classrooms, we can significantly reduce the teacher-to-student ratio from 25:1 to 10:1. This reduction will allow teachers to provide personalized attention to each student therefore enhancing the overall learning experience.

The renovated classroom will have a deep impact on student learning. Students will have more opportunities to develop their literacy skills with an additional 45 minutes of reading class each day. Furthermore, the reduced teacher-to-student ratio will allow for more custom instruction, supplying the needs of each student.

At the heart of this project lies a commitment to empowering students to reach their highest potential. By providing a supportive and stimulating learning environment, we can inspire students to develop a love for learning, cultivate their critical thinking skills and become active participants in their educational journey.

We are proud to partner with KCIA, a school dedicated to providing quality education to its students. This renovation project is a testament to our shared commitment to academic excellence and student success. As we take this exciting journey, we look forward to witnessing the transformative impact of this project on the lives of KCIA students.
