A Truly Exceptional School KCIA is a Gem!
As a parent, finding the right school for your child can be overwhelming, but enrolling our children at Kansas City International Academy has been one of the best decisions weve ever made. From the very beginning, we were welcomed with warmth, professionalism, and a deep sense of community.
The staff at KCIA go above and beyond every single day. The teachers are passionate, patient, and truly invested in the success of every student. They dont just teach they inspire. My children come home excited about what theyve learned and eager to return the next day. The academic programs are strong and culturally inclusive, which I especially appreciate in such a diverse community.
One of the things that sets KCIA apart is how they embrace and celebrate different cultures and languages. As a multilingual family, weve always felt understood and supported. Communication between home and school is consistent and meaningful. The translators and interpreters play a vital role, helping families stay connected and involved in their childs education.
Beyond academics, KCIA also instills strong values respect, responsibility, kindness that I see reflected in my kids every day. Theyre not just growing as students, but as thoughtful, confident individuals.
If youre looking for a school that treats every child like they matter and every family like they belong Kansas City International Academy is the place to be. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the KCIA family!

Della Lamb is a charter school that specializes in educating children of recent immigrants. It is located within Kansas City school district borders but is not part of the Kansas City school district. The school provides free transportation for all students and free aftercare for those who need it. My church contributes to the Della Lamb mission and I am truly amazed at what this school does for kids who might otherwise get lost in the shuffle.
