teaching experience on average. Most have earned their Master’s Degrees.

most NCAA-approved. This includes the AP and Honors courses most college
admission committees prefer to see. Kaplan offers you higher-level math, science
and lab courses to choose from that even some traditional schools lack.
• Intense PSAT, SAT, ACT testing preparation to help you achieve your personal best.
• Individualized college counseling for 9th-12th grade students. From the moment

Flexibility without Compromise
UNIQUELY FLExIbLE
We understand the unique needs and demands of talented individuals.
Often, developing this talent properly requires you to travel, train and
practice much of the day. It takes tremendous dedication. The beauty of
this uniquely-flexible program is that it adapts to your training, practice,
competition and travel demands.
• Custom weekly schedule. You determine the time and schedule you need for
your week’s training or competition priorities. Then you structure your
academic schedule around them.
• Custom academic calendar. When you must travel out of town or attend a
competition, there is no need to worry about missed tests or makeup
sessions. We work with you to schedule them before you leave or
after you return.
• 365 day enrollment. You don’t need to worry about adhering to a rigid
academic spring or fall semester calendar. You can begin on any day
of the year.
• 24/7 access. You can take classes, complete coursework, do your
assignments, and ask for help and support from anywhere you are located,
at any time of the day or night.
“ You can pick what hours you want
to work, when you want to do your
homework, but you’re not allowed to
fall behind or get behind pace.
Foundation for the Future
I also like that I can get the work done
as fast as I want to get it done.”

KCPS provides extensive classroom and coaching support. A network of teachers and
coaches ensures that you are progressing on schedule and comfortable with your classes
and assignments.

course. Your Academic Coach also reaches out to you twice each week to check your
progress and help on your behalf with any concerns or problems you’re having.
• Talk to your teachers directly anytime. See them virtually, IM, email or call them with
questions. KCPS teachers keep regular office hours and are ready to connect with you, in
any way you want to reach them.
• Support from your Kaplan classmates. You will have many opportunities to meet fellow
KCPS students, support each other and build friendships, including informal chat rooms
plus scheduled group participation and discussion sessions built into your
academic curriculum.
• In-depth parental input and involvement. Parents of Kaplan students have many ways to
stay engaged in their child’s academic experience.
- Progress Map: accessible by parents any time they wish, this online tool tracks their
child’s grades, assignments and attendance on a weekly basis. Parents can contact
any teacher to get status updates, ask questions or convey concerns.
- Formalized Teacher/Parent Conferences: scheduled to ensure parents the chance
to address academic issues, pacing issues or any personal areas that require
greater focus.
• Personalized college planning coaching. You get one-on-one help with college prep
curriculum, testing preparation, and college selection/application.
• A bigger head start for college. Even as you enjoy KCPS’s structured support, you are also
learning to work independently and manage your time to meet academic goals. This is
exactly what you must do when faced with the less-structured, more independent world of
college. These skills aren’t always developed as much in traditional high school settings.
• NCAA eligibility advice - to maximize your chances of achieving your athletic objectives.
