Through Every Season

Life is never always the same. Children grow, and people age. Certain times of the year are busier and other times slow-moving. Events, health issues, trips, and life’s other surprises alter the course of our everyday routine temporarily or permanently.

But learning never stops.

Our children learn as much in diligent academic study as they do in life. Children absorb information in multi-sensory ways. A family reunion fosters values that cannot be learned through a book. A milestone event or adventure can lend context to many skills developed in school.

No matter the state of our heart and home, time doesn’t stop, and learning doesn’t either. Through every season of life, the homeschooled child – and the homeschooling parent – never ceases to grow.

A Matter of the Heart

Life’s battles are won on our knees. No amount of skill, preparation, or material equipment can mold the hearts of young children without the Lord’s hand. The unique calling of homeschooling can be successful only when our parents and teachers bring our students before the Lord day after day after day.

May our gracious God continue to bless our families with the strength, wisdom, creativity, and compassion they need to raise their children up in His love. May the heart of every Kairos student be shaped under the masterful guidance of the Potter’s hand.

What Makes It “Easy”?

Homeschooling is an exciting adventure. It is, also, at the same time, a challenging calling for many families!

Kairos simplifies the homeschooling experience by doing the footwork for our enrolled families. We provide a fully-developed academic curriculum, including tests, projects, and grading services. We train and equip our parents. We assess student performance and provide full reports. We plan and provide extra-curricular options, and we foster a community of dedicated, hardworking Christian parents.

On the flip side, Kairos does expect our parent partners to carry out the actual application of the program: you can’t homeschool without homeschooling! A purposeful homeschooling experience is always a labor of love. Our families thrive when fathers, mothers, and extended family members commit themselves to teaching, mentoring, and discipling their children in the love of the Lord.

It takes effort from our families to maximize the Kairos program, but God’s grace is always and ever sufficient.

The Five Kairos “C”haracteristics

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Christmas Break

The Kairos office will be out of reach during the Christmas holidays from December 18-31, 2017. Please contact us through e-mail or social media in case of any concerns. A blessed Christmas to all!

Parent-Child Tandem

Homeschooling, at its heart, is parent-led, home-based education. At Kairos, we enable families through curriculum, seminars, and teaching materials to work towards the best possible home environment for their children’s schooling. Kairos parents teach and guide their kids in person, often experiencing new lessons along with their kids!

Committed parents are the very best teachers students can have. By providing whatever we can to help families reach their homeschooling goals, we strive to make lifelong learning a possibility for all of our beloved families. When the kids learn, the parents do too!

Types of Language Learning

Learning a new language is a time of great discovery and great challenge. Whether students are second language learners who are immersed in their target language’s culture or foreign language learners who are attempting to acquire a language not available in their immediate environment, students need assistance to make acquiring a new tongue a successful endeavor.

At Kairos, our Chinese curriculum is designed for heritage language learners – students who have experienced the Chinese language in their family and home, who understand the value of its legacy. Filipino is approached as a second language while English is built as a mother tongue. Students are expected to master English and basic Chinese in preschool and to learn Filipino starting from Grade One.

By combining home environment and school instruction, we aim to make multilingual learning a reality for all.

One Year of Grace

This June, Kairos celebrates one year of the Lord’s gracious leading in establishing a homeschool provider that serves the unique needs of the Christian, Filipino-Chinese community. By supplying curriculum, community, and guidance for our families, we support every family and child in the Kairos family with love and compassion. We praise the Lord for every individual He has used for His glory! Join us in giving thanks for the Lord’s continuous grace.
