Brightly Shining Future
At KVC Academy, we’re passionate about learning. We understand that sometimes we all need a helping hand to discover the strength within us and the possibilities ahead of us.
Each year, our Academy educates over 400 children who struggle in a traditional school setting. Our schools operate in Boonville, Columbia, Kansas City, Lebanon, St. James, St. Louis and St. Louis County, Missouri, and we partner with nearly 100 school districts across the state.
We are nationally accredited with the prestigious Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS), so you can be confident that each student is getting a high-quality education that adheres to the demanding standards placed on the most prestigious private schools. KVC Academy is approved by both Missouri’s and Illinois’ departments of elementary and secondary education.
Our schools support each child’s goals, whether that’s graduating from high school, returning to a traditional school setting, preparing to enter the workforce, or continuing to post-secondary, vocational or technical training.
