“Kairos” time is different to Chronos time. Kairos is mystical time, moment-to-moment time, time where the action suits the context.
Kairos School of Inquiry is a learning community achieving a culture of inquiry based on curiosity, initiative, relevance and the willingness to stand alone. We emphasise
personal integrity and social harmony in our search for multimodal mastery.
Do you dream of a school for your child • where all your child’s lessons are infused with beauty and artistic expression?
• where your child discovers maths and science as a way of being curious about the world?
• where personal growth is as important as intellectual achievement (yet where intellectual achievement is not compromised)?
• where reverence, wonder and respect are valued as much as perseverance and conscientiousness?
• where school relationships are as important as literacy?
• where there is time to inquire?
Kairos School of Inquiry is that sort of school. We offer globally cutting-edge teaching practices in a culture of learning for all academically mainstream children aged 6 until 13 (Grades 0-7).
At Kairos, we listen to what lives in our children,
following the Jewish proverb, “Do not confine your children to your own learning for they were
born in another time.”
“The things taught in school are not an education but the means of an education.”
— Ralph Waldo
Emerson
As a pioneering, independent school, we at Kairos co-create spaces and times for inspiration and knowledge to emerge between us. From this intention:
1. Our children achieve excellent academic performance, as well as broad and deep understanding.
2. Through curious, creative and cooperative inquiry into all spheres of learning, our children develop self-leadership.
3. Our teachers practise true mentorship, thereby evolving in their capacity to serve as role models for the next generation.
4. Our children and our teachers love coming to school.
5. We help co-create a culture of sharing educational innovations between schools.
“The only real object of education is to leave one in the condition of continually asking questions.”
— Leo Tolstoy
