Kennedy Charter Public School (“KCPS”) is a component of Elon Homes For Children, a private, non-profit agency that serves the needs of abused, abandoned and troubled adolescents through a variety of programs and services. KCPS is accredited by the State of North Carolina to serve at-risk students, which are students that are at risk of failing in the traditional public school setting for social, emotional, or academic reasons.

KCPS provides a positive learning environment for students in grades 6-12 by setting high academic and social expectations for the students, ensuring that academic and behavioral goals are clearly defined for each student and encouraging behaviors that will foster success both in school and in society. In addition to providing a positive learning environment, the faculty and staff of KCPS take additional steps in the classroom to promote the success of its students. KCPS provides smaller classroom sizes than those in a traditional public school setting and students receive individualized attention through hands-on, experiential learning methods that have been shown to facilitate student success. KCPS adheres to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study as a curriculum guide and each student has a Personal Education Plan, specifically tailored for that student, which is created, to help further the academic and behavior growth of each student.

In an effort to provide a comprehensive academic experience, KCPS offers physical education, computer skills training and Spanish classes in addition to the core subjects. The faculty and staff of KCPS and Elon Homes for Children work closely with parents and members of the community to ensure that no child is left behind and to help students exceed all expectations because failure is not an option for our youth.
