High Quality Learning at KFS

We believe that high-quality learning is a process which occurs in a safe, diverse, and inclusive learning environment enabling learners to acquire skills and knowledge to achieve academic excellence. High quality learning equips students to become global leaders who promote environmental stewardship and peace, reaching the maximum of their potential as they train to be lifelong learners. Student Learner Outcomes (SLOs) provide a means to measure the progress of learners toward high-quality learning goals.
