Kairos Academies: St. Louis

Of course graduation marks the conclusion of our students’ high school journey. But for us, it’s much bigger than that. It’s the beginning of the rest of their lives. A journey they’ve designed and planned for themselves with the help of their mentors and families.

As our very first class of Krakens enters the world as adults, we’re humbled by their tenacity, leadership, and desire to build something meaningful.

From our very first day of school in 2019 to today, we’ve grown stronger. We built a new path as we walked it together—and that is no small feat.

To our Krakens on your graduation day: we’re so proud of you—where you’ve been, what you’ve built, and what you’re going to do next. From WashU to Mizzou, from Morehouse to trade school, from the apprenticeship to the armed services—you’ve got the tools for greatness and we have all the confidence in the world you’re ready for what’s next. ❤️

Seven years ago, Kairos opened its doors with a bold belief: St. Louis students deserve a school experience built around relationships, purpose, opportunity, and belonging.

This Sunday, that vision reaches a historic milestone.

Join us LIVE as we celebrate the graduation of the Kairos Class of 2026 — our very first graduating class. 🎓

From nervous first days in 2019 to internships, capstones, college acceptances, performances, leadership opportunities, and lifelong friendships, these students have helped shape what Kairos has become. They didn’t just attend Kairos. They built it.

We know there are friends, family members, mentors, and supporters cheering these graduates on from near and far, and we’re excited to make this moment accessible to everyone who has been part of the journey.

📅 Sunday, May 24
⏰ Livestream begins at 2:30 PM

This is more than a graduation ceremony. It’s the celebration of seven years of growth, perseverance, community, and possibility.

Let’s celebrate together. 💙

Last week we celebrated Prom 2026 with our high schoolers and we'd love to share a sneak peek with you! Don't worry, the *professional* photos are coming soon. A big thank you to Ms. Amaya, Ms. Maria, and all of our student and family volunteers who brought our Enchanted Forest to life! ✨🌳💫
