Academics
At The Kessler School, our curriculum is designed to provide an UNLIMITED educational experience that nurtures every aspect of a child's development. We adhere to high academic standards and integrate innovative programs to ensure our students excel both academically and personally.
The standards we use for language arts and math are the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). For science and social studies, we use the Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills (TEKS) standards.
Our mathematics curriculum is a research-based and field-tested approach that effectively develops students' understanding and skills, producing abundant mathematical minds. Exemplary instructional materials are used to provide joyful rigor to learning, spark curiosity, and impart knowledge.
We are proud to have contracted with Techie Factory to offer weekly interactive STEAM Lab instruction, reinforcing the skills students learn in the classroom and providing hands-on learning opportunities in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. This partnership ensures our students are well-prepared for the future with a strong foundation in STEAM education.
The Kessler School has also partnered with local art studio Oil and Cotton and BOCO Music & Dance, offering our students a fresh and thoughtful curriculum that fosters an appreciation of art history, material science, and artistic processes. This collaboration enhances our fine arts program and encourages creativity and self-expression.
Innovative and specialized learning is a hallmark of our educational approach. TKS offers a variety of innovative programs and electives taught by contracted experts who bring real-world experience to the classroom. Our STEAM programs provide students with hands-on learning opportunities, ensuring they are well-prepared for the future. Additionally, we offer access to specialized counselors who support students' emotional and social development.
Social and emotional development is equally, if not more, important to student learning at The Kessler School. We integrate Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into our curriculum to help students develop essential life skills such as empathy, resilience, and teamwork. Teachers take a positive and responsive approach to creating a safe, joyful, and inclusive school environment.
Our faculty and staff are dedicated to providing personalized attention and support for each student. With small class sizes and a low student-to-teacher ratio, we ensure that every child receives the individualized education they need to thrive. Our commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that our educators remain at the forefront of educational best practices, enhancing the quality of instruction.
We believe that education is a partnership between the school and families. Knowing and valuing the contributions of our families is as important as knowing the children we teach. This collaborative approach creates a close-knit, supportive environment where students can flourish.
