About the Company
Kalexedy Learning Center is an in-person academic and enrichment center open year-round for grades 5 and up. Resembling a microschool, Kalexedy works with smaller multi-age groups of students. Through our talented staff, we coordinate with each student and family to map out an academic plan that is personalized for the student’s social, emotional, and academic well being. Our staff also play a fundamental role in creating a space where everyone feels safe, welcome, and has fun.
Kalexedy began with the belief that given the right circumstances, all children can be happy and high-achieving. We started with the goal of developing the space and staff to offer this optimized environment. This includes smaller class sizes, mixed-age groupings, personalized academic planning (NOT IEP), and ample personalized attention from licensed and experienced MA teachers. From this came a simple hypothesis — that if we treat learners the way we would want to be treated, good things will happen. That if we align with families we will engender trust, and from that, achieve profound results. It’s that simple.
