KLS uses a model which is based on mastery, which means students demonstrate competence in all skills before moving on in the course.[6]
The school also teaches social and emotional skills which are based on these core principles:
Unlike many schools, KLS places its students in mixed-age settings in order to group students by academic progress.[8]
The school's lower and middle school divisions also continue to run throughout the summer term.[9] KLS also adopts an extended day model, in which students are expected to work independently. Students are not required to participate in extracurricular activities, but those who stay after school are expected to focus on their learning, and project goals.[10]
