What makes Citizens of the World KC such a unique school for your child?

Picture
Children can discover their own brilliance. At Citizens of the World our model of personalized instruction, project-based learning, inclusive classrooms, and social-emotional development creates space for your child to find his or her own place in the world.

Our differences make us stronger. It’s one thing to talk about diversity, but it’s another thing to place it at the forefront of a learning model which values diversity in its fullest expressions. Citizens of the World is committed to educating children in an equitable and inclusive learning environment where they grow to understand themselves both as individuals and members of a community.

Core values matter. At Citizens of the World we spend time every day discovering ways to embody and practice our school’s core values. This foundation of values empowers our students to encounter complex problems and advocate for positive impact.

Your child’s education goes beyond test scores. Citizens of the World KC believes what helps your child learn and thrive is far richer than test scores can tell. Our classrooms focus on the development of the whole child including their academic and social-emotional growth.

Understanding, Connection, and Diversity are the philosophical foundations guiding everything we do. 

Understanding.  Learning best occurs when students construct their own understandings, under the guidance of a teacher who offers varying levels of support, which are reflective of students’ current abilities and needs. Our theory of learning is comprised of three building blocks: constructivism, gradual release of responsibility, and data-driven instruction.

Connection.  Citizens of the World’s academic model supports and depends upon connections with self, one’s community, and the world. Our model supports this development through social emotional development (SED), which we believe to be as integral to an excellent education as traditional academic subjects and, moreover, is necessary for the world that we live in.  

​Diversity.  We believe that the diversity of our communities, and of the world at large, is a great strength. Through targeted outreach and recruitment, our schools are intentionally designed to reflect their surrounding communities and the larger society in terms of race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. By learning, interacting, and growing in a diverse setting, our students are preparing to thrive in the pluralistic society they will soon join.
