The Kenton County Academies of Innovation & Technology are unique because of the incorporation of motivational based education. In our program, scholars attend an academy for half their school day with the structure of two required, core classes and one career oriented class. Our career classes are specialized to meet the needs of our individual academies, and are taught in conjunction with the two core classes to make their experience more meaningful, therefore enhancing their motivation to learn. The three teachers in each academy collaborate daily to incorporate content from all three classes, and are essentially creating one large, career based block of the school day.

The classes for each academy and locations are as follows:

Biomedical Sciences (Edgewood Campus) (AM & PM)

Scholars that are scheduled for Academy classes are required to remain in the Academies through the first six days of school as a trial period. This is to ensure that the scholar gets a feel for the Academy structure, and allows the scholar to determine whether he or she is a right fit. After the trial period, if they choose, they will be permitted to reschedule into their home school classes or request placement in another academy using our "Relinquish KCAIT Enrollment Form" on August 25th-August 26th, 2017. The form can be found under our applications tab on the Kenton County Academies of Innovation and Technology website. All forms must be turned into the Academies by the deadline of August 26th, 2017, in order to be rescheduled back into their homeschools. Upon rescheduling out of academy classes, their position in that academy will be forfeited and their spot will be given to a scholar on the waiting list.
