KTEC Schools of Innovation in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is offering a new approach to education that combines academic excellence with technical education and career readiness. This public charter school serves students from grades 4K through 12, aiming to equip them with skills necessary for future success.

The school provides a supportive community environment where the curriculum integrates hands-on learning, technical education, and character development. Students are encouraged to develop leadership, teamwork, and collaboration skills alongside their academic pursuits.

A key aspect of KTEC's strategy is introducing technical education at an early age. By nurturing children's natural curiosity and problem-solving abilities from a young age, KTEC helps build confidence and challenges stereotypes about technical education. The early introduction of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) concepts is designed to open doors for future opportunities and empower students as potential leaders in these fields.

KTEC's educational program progresses through five distinct phases as students advance:

1. In grades 4K-2: Emphasis on curiosity, creativity, communication skills, respect, and problem-solving.

2. In grades 3-5: Introduction to basic coding and energy principles while fostering perseverance and cooperation.

3. In grades 6-8: Focus on robotics, 3D software applications, applied mathematics alongside leadership skills.

4. In grades 9-10: Technical skill development such as programming languages and manufacturing while enhancing professionalism.

5. In grades 11-12: Specialization in career pathways through project-based learning leading to certifications or post-secondary opportunities.

KTEC aims to prepare students not just academically but also for life by integrating workplace skills with traditional learning methods. Graduates leave ready for college or the workforce equipped with knowledge and tools for success.

Enrollment is now open for the upcoming school year at KTEC Schools of Innovation across all grade levels. Parents interested in this tailored educational experience can visit the KTEC Enrollment page to secure a spot for their child.

"KTEC Schools of Innovation is not just preparing students for the future; it’s transforming the way education is delivered in Kenosha," says the institution about its mission of creating confident and capable leaders ready for modern challenges.
