Philosophy/Belief Statement:
Our educational approach is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which offers children endless possibilities and opportunities to be in charge of their own learning. Developed after WWII in Reggio Emilia, Italy, the approach caters to and challenges students’ learning process, encouraging students to think deeper, explore their interests through stimulating projects, and ask questions as they research different theories.
Grounded in decades of research, science, and design, KLA Academy's flexible, differentiated education provokes deep inquiry, active learning, collaborative work, and complex problem-solving. As one of the most respected Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool-grade five schools in the region, KLA Academy aims to transform school into a place where children find and use their own strengths to become thoughtful, caring, and curious young people.
School History: What if school was designed to prepare children for the unique challenges of the future, rather than the familiar problems of the past?
That’s the question that inspired Roberto and Candy Ortega to found KLA Academy, the flagship preschool-grade five school powered by their network of Reggio Emilia-inspired KLA Schools.
The Ortegas envisioned a school grounded in research yet flexible and child-centered; a place where learning aligns with different stages of child development in order to grow kind, empathetic, resilient citizens of the world.
This is that school. More than a state-of-the-art building, more than a pioneering educational philosophy, KLA Academy is a holistic program that inspires students to become dynamic thinkers, creative collaborators, and motivated learners who follow their passions to remarkable futures.
This is Purpose, Pursued.
