Project-based learning is embedded in Middle School afternoon classes to foster collaboration, creativity, and real-world problem-solving. High School electives extend this approach with choices including arts and technology, and with trips that connect learning to real-world contexts.
Arts and creative activities are provided through KAIS electives and co-curricular programs.
