Restorative Justice at Kairos centers around resolving conflicts and restoring relationships, serving as a wrap-around service of sorts. If you believe that discipline should seek to educate instead of punishing, come build a more equitable world at Kairos.
Responsibilities
Now is the opportune moment (the kairos) to reimagine education for the 21st century. Our schools have been recognized by Forbes, Bellwether Education, NBC Today, Education Week, and others as among the most innovative and highest performing in the nation.

Kairos students practice navigating real-world choices (such as when, where, how, and with whom to work) within a safe, supportive school environment. Kairos develops students not just into freethinkers, ready to thrive in a modern economy, but self-governing citizens, ready to lead both themselves and their communities.
