What we learn
Every child at TCKA has their own curriculum, purposefully crafted to fit who they are, how they learn, and where their curiosity is pulling them. Because of this, our children move at their own pace. There’s no waiting for a class to catch up, no being held back by someone else’s timeline. The subjects are familiar, language, math, science, history, art, movement, but how our children encounter them is anything but traditional.
Learning across borders
A science lesson might begin with the soil in our backyard and continue in the highlands of Kenya. History isn’t a timeline on a wall, it’s the stories our elders carry, told in Swahili and English and sometimes in languages we’re still learning. Math shows up in the kitchen, at the market, in the architecture of the places we visit. Nothing is abstract when the whole world is your classroom.
What sets our children apart
Because each child’s curriculum is built around them, they don’t just keep pace, they set their own. Our children think critically, communicate across cultures and languages, solve problems with their hands as readily as their minds, and carry a financial and environmental literacy that most adults are still catching up on. They are independent, responsible, and deeply curious, not because we told them to be, but because that’s what happens when education fits the child instead of the other way around.
TCKA meets all applicable state homeschool requirements, including annual placement testing. Our children’s day-to-day progress is documented through observation, portfolios, and project-based assessment, standardized tests tell us where they stand, but the real evidence of growth lives in the work itself.
