The Kenzy Method transform how children learn by combining independence with acceleration. Our innovative approach breaks down complex concepts into manageable steps while providing carefully curated resources that work together seamlessly. By integrating advanced learning techniques with engaging activities, we help students master fundamental skills rapidly and confidently.
Through the Kenzy Methods, children discover that academic achievement can be both enjoyable and efficient. Our framework turns challenging subjects into exciting opportunities for growth, allowing students to progress at their own pace while building a strong educational foundation.
To start, here are videos to explain the twelve pillars from the Kenzy Method that guide learning:
We'd love to share a glimpse of our journey with you through this video. While it's from our early days, it showcases something we're incredibly proud of - years of helping students thrive and grow.
From foundational skills to exciting advanced projects, our homeschooling pod offers a complete learning adventure. Whether your child is just beginning their educational journey or ready to tackle challenging projects, the Spiritual Arts Kenzy Academy provides a nurturing space where every student can flourish.

John McEntee pointed out that homeschooling children is not an experiment, the public education system is. Long before the creation of public schools, children learned successfully at home, absorbing knowledge within their family and community. READ MORE 👇
The classroom model emerged during the industrial age, designed largely to prepare workers for factory life. But education should be about more than creating a workforce - it should nurture each child's unique potential and preserve family values.
This understanding shaped the Kenzy Methods, which embrace the time-tested wisdom of homeschool learning.
Every child develops at their own unique pace, especially when it comes to academic skills. While one tenth grader might still use finger counting for basic addition, another second grader might have already mastered complex division.

Birth year alone doesn't determine academic readiness – and even within a single student, abilities can vary dramatically across subjects. Take Marcy, who excels at algebra but faces challenges with reading.
At The Spiritual Arts Kenzy Academy, we embrace these natural variations in learning. Our classroom model draws inspiration from the one-room schoolhouse, where students work at their individual levels across all subjects. This approach ensures every child faces the right amount of challenge each day, allowing them to grow at their own pace while staying fully engaged in their learning journey.
Musical ability, like any skill, develops differently for each person. While some teenagers might be mastering their first simple tune like 'Hot Cross Buns,' others much younger might already be performing complex pieces with confidence. READ MORE 👇
Our approach to music education is built on a foundation of patience and progression. We start with the fundamentals, giving students time to become comfortable with basic harmonies. From there, they naturally evolve into exploration and creativity with musical notes. This gentle but structured approach paves the way for authentic musical development – and it only takes a few minutes of dedicated practice each day.
At The Spiritual Arts Kenzy Academy, our music program honors these individual differences. Each student progresses at their natural pace, finding daily challenges that match their current abilities while nurturing their musical growth.
With the Kenzy Method, we've revolutionized traditional education by combining proven learning techniques with modern innovation. Our approach rapidly builds strong foundational skills, freeing up valuable time for students to explore practical applications, develop life skills, and pursue their passions through hands-on projects.

The Kenzy Method is built on scientifically-backed learning shortcuts, adapted specifically for young minds. We've taken sophisticated memory techniques – like the ancient Memory Palace method – and reimagined them for children. The results speak for themselves: while many 12-year-olds still struggle with multiplication tables, our 8-year-old students master them in just a few hours.
This rapid mastery of fundamental concepts is crucial, particularly in mathematics where every new skill builds upon basic arithmetic facts. By accelerating the acquisition of these essential building blocks, we empower students to advance confidently through increasingly complex material at their own pace.

Why Getting Back To Basics is Critical
Most children who complete grade 6 aren't able to do basic math. They can't do simple addition without counting fingers or basic multiplication at all. They can't calculate 40% of 70 or two thirds of 24. They are often assessed using multiple choice tests which is only slightly more accurate than flipping a coin.
We ensure that your child will master the basics and learn concepts that relate directly to life skills. With proven, researched methods refined over decades, an eight year old can learn the complete times tables in less than 6 hours.
In the classroom children are taught how to write Haiku poems, name clouds and triangles and Roman numerals, but are not taught to cook a meal, plant a garden or fix a tire.
Kenzy Kids will learn to build a model house, plant a garden, cook and bake and other life skills.
Creating is the highest form of learning. Often in the public system 85%+ of the work is in the form of a worksheet such as questions from a textbook, a workbook with standard questions and answers or spelling tests. Even the majority of science class is spent filling in log books or lab sheets.
Students will spend at most 2 hours doing academic work which will include hands on activities to learn concepts. The rest of the time will be spent working on projects, playing an instrument or working with their hands in some way.
Rewards don't motivate. Giving marks don't improve test scores. Yet, teachers, educational assistants and even principals are forever giving red grade letters, stickers and dollar store prizes when all the research says this kills motivation and creativity.
Kids will earn opportunities. If they finish work early, they can have time to read, work on project, play an instrument or do something physical. Instead of being told 'Good job.' or 'Great work.' they will be asked how they came up with a solution or what they were thinking when working on a project.
Not knowing the answer is hard. Going through puberty is hard. Learning something new is hard. It has become common culture to solve problems, medicate and entertain which ultimately doesn't allow a child to grow, learn or develop.
Kids will be allowed to work through difficult situations, they will be given challenges. Instead of being asked to pour one cup of sugar, then being congratulated on baking cookies, they will be asked to do the work of the entire recipe. Scaling the recipe, finding the equipment, measuring, mixing and baking ingredients and cleaning up will all be expectations for baking one muffin. Having the chance to do this many times over will allow a child to truly grow.
