About Us
History
KORE was founded in 2003 by a small group of parents wishing to obtain a quality education for their children with various learning differences and styles. Recognizing that their children’s needs were not being met in the traditional classroom, these parents realized they would have to create the alternative their children needed. Thus KORE (Kids Obtaining Real Education) Academy was born. KORE is currently housed within Tates Creek Christian Church in Lexington, Kentucky.

KORE Academy Philosophy
We believe every individual should feel accepted, valued, and safe in school. KORE strives to provide an inclusive community that consciously evolves to meet the changing needs of its students.
Neurodiversity affirming educators create individualized plans for their students, while supporting the child’s strengths, unique abilities, and authenticity.
WE USE A STRENGTHS BASED APPROACH!
The strengths-based approach refers to the focus on a child’s strengths and abilities rather than their deficits. Education centered on gathering information about the powers a child possesses allows families and teachers to collectively develop strategies that best support learning and growth. At KORE Academy, our teachers use this approach to enable students to identify their areas of interests as a foundation for their individualized learning plan.
WE PRESUME COMPETENCE
Presuming competence means that we view all children as having the capacity to think, learn, and understand the world. Rather than assuming a scholar is incapable of understanding or performing certain tasks, we believe that with individualized support, all students can succeed.
KORE Academy strives to create an educational environment where every student has access to the resources and support they need to thrive.
