Our teachers are committed to ensuring a smooth transition to middle school. They understand each student's individual needs and work closely with parents to find the best-fit middle school.
How does Kineo support families with middle school transition?
We recognize that transitioning to middle school can be especially challenging for parents of neurodivergent children. Our teachers take the time to understand each student's strengths, challenges, and learning styles. By working closely with parents, they help identify middle schools that will provide the best fit for their child's needs.
Our teachers can support families during this transition with:
Personalized Recommendations: Our teachers offer tailored suggestions for middle schools that align with each student's learning style, interests, and social needs. They consider factors such as class size, teaching philosophy, support services, and extracurricular activities to ensure a comprehensive match.
Collaborative Planning: Teachers work hand-in-hand with parents to create a transition plan that addresses academic, social, and emotional aspects. This collaborative approach ensures that parents feel confident and well-prepared for the next steps in their child's educational journey.
Where do Kineo students go next?
Our students move on to a variety of schools in the area. Recent alumni are attending district middle schools, district choice schools, Willows Preparatory School, Seattle Girls School, Soundview, Chrysalis and Eastside Academics.
“Now in 6th grade, our son is thriving. He’s earning mostly A’s, excelling academically, and forming strong friendships. Many of the skills he’s using to succeed today were developed and reinforced during his time at The Kineo School, and we’re incredibly grateful for the impact it’s had on his growth.”
