Learning
at KBPS
At KBPS, academics are designed to nurture the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Our programs grow with students from their toddler years through elementary school.
Inspired by the IB Primary Years Programme, we connect learning across subjects and real-life contexts so that children see patterns, make sense of the world, and understand how their learning fits together.
Early Childhood
Toddlers - Pre-K 4
Learning is guided by the Florida Early Learning Standards. Through thematic units, sensory exploration, and play-based centers, children build language, social-emotional skills, fine motor strength, and early Pre-Literacy and Mathematical Thinking.
Elementary
Kindergarten - 2nd Grade, Expanding to 5th!
We utilize the C-Palms platform for Florida standards, which includes the Florida B.E.S.T. standards for Language Arts and Mathematics. Our curriculum aligns with these standards and is delivered through high-quality programs like Superkids for reading and Sadlier Math. With small class sizes, we personalize instruction to support each learner’s needs and celebrate their unique learning journey.

The PYP curriculum framework
At KBPS, our curriculum nurtures the whole child—blending strong academics with social-emotional learning, creativity, and faith. We use research-based instruction rooted in joy, purpose, and real-world relevance to keep students engaged, curious, and thriving.
Inspired by the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), we encourage students to lead with curiosity, explore meaningful questions, and take ownership of their learning. Our instructional approach supports international-mindedness, deep thinking, and student agency while connecting academic content to global and local contexts.
A Unique Environment for Outdoor Learning
Outdoor learning is a key part of our identity. Students explore nature, care for our school garden, and participate in outdoor classroom experiences each week. These activities support academic concepts while nurturing responsibility, creativity, and environmental stewardship.
The School Garden
Supported largely by our dedicated PTA, our vibrant school garden is a living classroom! Students from PK3 through Elementary participate in weekly gardening classes led by our Master Gardener, learning to plan, plant, nurture, and harvest fruits and vegetables. These activities connect to science, math, nutrition, and develop fine and gross motor skills
The Outdoor Classroom
Beyond the garden, our designated Outdoor Classroom offers curated, nature-based experiences weekly for all age groups. Monthly themes like construction, water play, or natural art inspire imagination and exploration using loose parts and natural elements. It's a space for collaboration, problem-solving, and pure, joyful discovery.
Environmental Stewardship
Through outdoor exploration, and activities, we cultivate a sense of responsibility for our environment. Learning about our ecosystem, participating in recycling programs, and understanding our role as caretakers are integral parts of the KBPS experience, earning our school recognition in challenges like The Fairchild Challenge and The Key Challenge.
