Transform Your Child’s Future with ApogeeNKY

As a parent, you want the best for your child—they must learn the skills for life. Yet, today’s traditional education system often falls short in preparing our children for the real world. That’s where ApogeeNKY, an affiliate of Apogee Strong, steps in. We are revolutionizing education by reseeding freedom in our children and our community through education for the entire family.

Why Choose ApogeeNKY for Your Family?

Innovative Educational Philosophy - At ApogeeNKY, we’re all about disrupting the status quo in education. We emphasize personal growth, leadership, and independence. Our mission is to equip your child with the skills and mindset needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. We nurture the natural genius in every child, fostering a love for learning and instilling strong moral values.

Developing Meta Skills for Life, Not Just School - We focus on developing essential meta skills that prepare students for life beyond the classroom. These skills include critical thinking, problem-solving, effective communication, and self-management. Our goal is to cultivate lifelong learners who are equipped to navigate the complexities of the real world.

Faith-Integrated Campus - Our faith-integrated approach ensures that education at ApogeeNKY aligns with and supports the spiritual values and beliefs of our community. We believe that integrating faith into learning provides a strong moral foundation and guides students in making ethical decisions.

Socratic Discussions - One of our core practices is engaging students in Socratic discussions. These are essential for developing critical thinking and communication skills. Through these guided conversations, students learn to question deeply, think independently, and articulate their ideas clearly. This method helps them explore complex concepts and develop a lifelong love for learning.

Civil Discourse - We also place a high value on teaching the art of civil discourse. Our students learn to engage respectfully with diverse perspectives, fostering an environment where thoughtful debate and open dialogue are encouraged. This skill is crucial for personal growth and for becoming responsible, informed citizens in a democratic society.

Mixed-Age Learning - Forget conveyor belt schooling, standardized tests, and classrooms lined with desks. At ApogeeNKY, we embrace mixed-age learning based on science and aligned with age ranges: 5-8, 8-12, and 12+. This approach fosters a collaborative and dynamic learning environment where students learn from and with each other, reflecting the real-world scenarios they will encounter in life.

Community Enrichment Days - All the skills, talents, and hobbies of our community are invited onto our campus during enrichment days. This exposes our young leaders to all that our community has to offer, broadening their horizons and inspiring them with a diverse array of experiences and expertise.

Non-Negotiable Core Elements

Physical Fitness and Healthy Eating - Physical fitness and healthy eating are foundational aspects of our curriculum. Regular physical activity is integrated into daily routines, promoting not only physical health but also mental and cognitive performance. Our program includes comprehensive education on nutrition, helping students understand how to fuel their bodies for optimal health and performance.

Free Play in Our Outdoor Green Space - Free play in our outdoor space is non-negotiable. We believe that unstructured playtime is essential for children's physical, emotional, and social development. Our outdoor environment provides a safe and stimulating space for children to explore, create, and engage with their peers, fostering a sense of independence and creativity.

Adhering to the Apogee Code - Adherence to the Apogee Code is a non-negotiable aspect of our program. This code emphasizes integrity, bravery, compassion, politeness, honesty, honor, and loyalty. It guides our families in their daily actions and interactions, ensuring a positive and supportive environment for all​.
