About Kids Learning Academy |
|
Kids Learning Academywas founded and incorporated in 1998 in San Rafael, California by Jennifer and Symon as a nonprofit independent educational institution encompassing elementary and middle school levels with students ranging in age from 5 to 14. The school has been designed to meet the needs of the area's large population of academically talented students whose families seek for their children an academically challenging education in a supportive and enriching environment. The school was founded out of the love for children and concern for the often-overlooked educational needs of gifted children.

She holds a B.S. in Elementary Education with minors in both Art and Music from William Jewell College in her home state of Missouri. She earned a Master’s Degree in Gifted Education from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. Her ongoing relationship with Johns Hopkins’s Center for Talented Youth, the premier national organization active in identifying and serving the needs of gifted students, has been instrumental in the design of Kids Learning Academywas and providing opportunities to her students. Jennifer has been recognized for having a profound impact on the development of her students by combining solid subject-matter instruction with encouraging student initiative and engaging intellectual curiosity. Her prominence in the field of gifted education has resulted in demand for her services as an independent consultant in the design and implementation of programs for the gifted.
