Overview

Mission

Koinonia Hybrid Academy is a PreK3 to 8th Grade Catholic hybrid school that partners with parents as the primary educators of their children to provide both a foundational education and spiritual formation to its students. The school establishes a common location where a regular faculty retained by the school provides instruction to students in a classroom setting on two days of the week. During the remainder of the week, the school guides parents in the instruction of their children at home using the curriculum developed by the school, lesson plans prepared by the school and its faculty, and regular communication and meetings between teachers and parents. The school takes attendance, administers and grades tests, and reports grades and all other required information to the appropriate state-level body. The school incorporates Catholic Mass, prayer, sacramental preparation, and spiritual development and formation into its academic instruction.

What it reported doing in 2024

Koinonia Hybrid Academy commenced its first academic year on August 14, 2025. Prior to that time, the board of directors met to establish the corporation's charter and bylaws, the school's handbook, policies, procedures, curriculum, lesson plans, and to interview staff members and student applicants. The board also conducted a search to find a suitable location from which to provide educational instruction to enrolled students.
