History

The Beginning

Kaleidoscope began through the coordinated efforts of passionate parents and educators who worked together to form a new school opportunity for the local communities. In the fall of 2004, Kaleidoscope opened its doors to a small number of students. The campus was a collection of portable classrooms in the parking lot of a local church. Because of the hard work of many dedicated adults, Kaleidoscope saw strong demand and growth. 

A Place to Call Our Own

Soon the leaders of Kaleidoscope were able to secure funding and a location with which we could establish our own building. The fall of 2008 saw staff and students relocate to a new, purpose-built building. The school community was thrilled to have a building that suited our needs and better fit our community's idea of a home. Growth and academic success continued over the next several years.

Expanding Our Impact

Once again, the Kaleidoscope community saw a demand for our unique approach to learning. In the fall of 2012, the school saw the addition of more sections of elementary portable classrooms to support our growth and the approval for a high school program. The fall of 2014 welcomed a physical expansion to our building. We also added our first sections of high school on campus. We were excited to celebrate our first graduating class of Seniors in the Spring of 2017. Kaleidoscope has also worked to expand our high school experience by adding extracurricular activities and varsity sports. In just a few short seasons, we have been able to play in, host, and win postseason games. The success of our athletics program, like so many other aspects of Kaleidoscope, has largely led to the strong participation of our students with intensive support from various adults.
