The Kintess School
Students thrive at the Kintess School with a powerful combination of bilingual learning, nurturing emotional intelligence, and IB/project-based curriculum, all supported by the latest in neuroscience and child development. Kintess is secular and co-ed.
Bilingual Education
We teach in different languages:
- Immersive Spanish
- Immersive French
- English
We don’t just teach languages. We empower students to speak fluently and think bilingually (watch the video to see the results). Our teachers are native speakers.
Emotional Intelligence
Our students are smart, but not just book-smart. Using the Mood Meter developed at Yale University, we nurture the development of multiple intelligences, including creative, inter/intra personal, spatial-visual, kinesthetic, linguistic and logical intelligences. Kintess teachers are in the process of being trained and certified by the Yale University Mood Meter Method.
International Baccalaureate (IB)

The Kintess School curriculum embraces the IB principles of project-based, hands-on, interactive learning. We uphold rigorous academic standards with an emphasis on critical thinking. Kintess has already been accepted into the process of IB accreditation.
The Kintess School is a Candidate School* for the Primary Years Programme (PYP). This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that the Kintess School believes is important for our students.
*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org.
