What’s KaiPod?

KaiPod organizes local pods of 8-10 students who are all enrolled in an online school. We provide a location for parents to drop their students off, and staff those locations with a KaiPod Coach. KaiPod Coaches are responsible for making the space a place where students are safe, can focus and complete assignments, and have fun together.

KaiPods solve two of the biggest challenges with online learning: providing a peer group for students and providing parents peace of mind that their student is making appropriate academic progress. That’s the role of the Learning Coach!

In some ways a KaiPod Coach is similar to a traditional teacher. Coaches truly enjoy being with young people, developing strong relationships with their students and families. They have high standards of excellence for academic achievement.

However, in many ways being a KaiPod Coach is not like being a traditional teacher. KaiPod Coaches are not responsible for creating curriculum, grading papers, or attending countless meetings. They have the flexibility and autonomy. If there’s a new exhibit of interest at a local museum, the KaiPod Coach can make that visit happen!
