What We Do

On October 18, 2018

If homeschooling is parent-led and home-based, why bother with a homeschool provider? How exactly does Kairos assist families in actualizing their homeschooling goals?

Every school year, Kairos provides each and every one of our families with a set of complete books, materials, and teacher’s guides – taking the guesswork out of curriculum planning. Our teachers and administrators meet our parents and students regularly to provide training, social opportunities, and community support. At the end of each quarter, after assessments and exams have been conducted, families receive a comprehensive report slip on their children’s academic and conduct progress. We pray for our students and parents by name to lift up their needs to the Lord.

For interested families, Kairos also coordinates Music, PE, Art, and Livelihood classes; fields trips; and special events. Students get to experience the memories of growing up in a close-knit learning community without parents having to do any of the planning!

We do what we do so our parents can invest their energy into teaching, discipling, and spending time with their children. It takes a village to raise a child, and we strive our best to be the village our students need to equip them for life!

Kairos Homeschool Academy is a homeschool provider built to meet 5 fundamental needs of homeschooling families in the Filipino-Chinese community. Through our partnership with the United Evangelical Church of Malabon, we strive to provide these 5 core services for Kairos families.

Christian. Kairos is a Christian entity that aims to serve families who wish to train their children in godliness and truth. All grade levels include the Bible subject; and students, as well as parents, are constantly guided by a Christian faculty and staff.
Chinese. There are unique needs in the Chinese community that require special attention. All our students learn Chinese as an academic subject, and all school events are directed by traditional, Filipino-Chinese values. This is the homeschool provider the grandparents will be happy to hear about!
Curriculum. For Kairos families, the energy of homeschooling goes into the actual teaching, as all the footwork of curriculum development falls on us. Each year, students receive a full set of learning materials – including tests, project directions, and teacher’s guide – and can go directly to enjoying the content of the books themselves.
Community. Have you ever felt the weight of tackling homeschooling by yourself? Kairos provides the community support of fellow students, moms, dads, and even grandparents as they gather for school events and activities. Need a listening ear? We’re right here for you.
Certification. Last, but not the least, Kairos aims to serve students by providing a recognized form of learning that acknowledges the students’ efforts. Reports on student performance and behavior are issued on a quarterly basis, and we make sure we observe each child’s strengths and weaknesses – to provide the most accurate assessments possible!

CLASS Days are a signature event for Kairos and all our enrolled families. Once every three weeks, students come to the Kairos center to enjoy stories, friendships, fun, and access to special learning. Each letter represents something great!

C – Chapel. Every CLASS Day, students learn important stories that encourage specific character traits. Teachers share Biblical and moral narratives that help pave the way to nurturing a child’s heart.

L – Library. The Kairos library currently stocks over 200 titles and is constantly adding more. A good book is a child’s best friend! Enrolled students are allowed to borrow up to 5 books at a time, for return during the next CLASS Day.

A – Activities. With so many families gathered together, Kairos maximizes these occasions by highlighting them with special activities. From group games to crafts, from performances to decorating, students experience collaborative projects that allow them to meet friends, make friends, and make special memories.

S – Submissions. Families enrolled in Kindergarten and upwards are allowed and encouraged to submit their tests and projects as students progress. There’s nothing more satisfactory than handing in a job well done! Test scores are emailed to families within a week of submission.

S – Support. Homeschooling doesn’t have to be a lonely journey. Teachers and other parents make themselves available each time to share tips, reference content, and provide encouragement. Ask our faculty any questions or concerns, and meet your partners in Kairos!

Help Where Help’s Needed

As a provider helmed by experienced homeschoolers, Kairos focuses our efforts in the areas where homeschooling families need the most assistance. By targeting specific needs in the homeschooling community, we hope to continue providing an affordable, supportive, and multifaceted homeschool education.

1. Credit. One primary need for homeschoolers in the Philippines involves recognition by the Department of Education. Through a partnership with a Chinese, Christian private school, we offer academic credit for all our students’ work. Kairos graduates may transfer schools or apply to college just as any private school student would.

2. Curriculum. With the myriad of education choices facing each family, Kairos helps by providing a basic, comprehensive curriculum. Each book in each subject is curated by seasoned homeschoolers based upon relevance, worldview, quality, and suitability for the homeschool setting. A holistic, inclusive program allows families to focus on implementation and teaching.

3. Community. Through regular CLASS Days, field trips, and other joint activities, Kairos helps homeschoolers find like-minded company for their homeschooling journeys. Both students and parents can meet and partner with other Kairos families to share tips, encouragement, friendship, and ideas.

4. Capacity. By consolidating multiple families’ resources, Kairos invests in a school library, parent training, and non-academic classes to round-out the homeschooling experience. We procure academic supplies, ones that one family may want yet hesitate to purchase, for all families to use.

As we continue the journey through our first school year, may the Lord use each of the above avenues to enable families, one after another.

“I want to homeschool, but how and where do I start?”

Many parents find themselves facing this question as they embark on the rewarding journey of homeschooling. With various providers to choose from and oftentimes no set blueprint to follow, starting to homeschool can be both an exciting and daunting task.

With experienced homeschooling families at our helm, Kairos seeks to simplify the homeschooling process and to guide parents in successfully educating their children at home. We take the guesswork out of the picture by curating and providing a complete curriculum that includes books, tests, grading sheets, and teacher manuals. By providing help classes for students and training sessions for parents, we make homeschooling a possible reality for every family.
