Kirk Academy Families and Visitors,
Welcome to Kirk Academy — I am so excited for you to come visit and see what we are all about. We have a great school, and I would love for you to experience firsthand what it means to be Raider Strong.
We “provide a quality education in a Christian environment”, and that commitment drives everything we do. Our dedicated faculty and staff show up every day with one goal in mind: helping every student reach their full potential — academically, spiritually, and personally. We believe that when you combine high expectations with genuine care for students, great things happen, and that is exactly what you will find at Kirk Academy.
From our rigorous college preparatory programs to our diverse extracurricular activities, we truly have something for everyone at Kirk. Whether your student is passionate about academics, athletics, the arts, or all of the above, we have a place for them here. We want every student to find where they belong and to grow into the person God created them to be.
This year has been especially exciting. We opened a brand-new elementary STEM lab that I would love for you to come tour —the Dorris Nation STEM lab is a fantastic space where our youngest Raiders will be doing incredible things. On the athletic side, we have upgraded our softball facility and made significant renovations throughout the school. We are investing in this place because we believe in what Kirk Academy is and where it is headed.
I'd love for you to come see it for yourself. Visit our campus, meet our students and teachers, and find out what Kirk Academy is really about. We are proud of this school and the community we have built together, and I think once you see it, you will be too. Come be a part of something special — come be Raider Strong.
Kirk Academy Elementary is a special place. After nearly 30 years in education, I am so blessed to be part of the KA family. What is offered here is more than a choice about schools, is a choice about focal points. With a goal of providing a quality education in a Christian environment, KA first focuses on building a Christian worldview through all of our endeavors. As we do this, our students are able to process, learn, and gross into the young men and young ladies God has called them to be. It is a great privilege to serve you all as the elementary principal. As I can assist or answer questions, feel free to reach out.
Respectfully,
Jay Cossey, Ed.D.
