Parents everywhere are questioning a model of education designed for a different world. And their questions aren’t only academic.

Who is shaping my child’s worldview?
Does anyone really know my child?
Why do subjects rarely connect?
Is memorizing still enough in an age of AI?
Where are the mentors? Where is the real world?
And where does faith fit?
The world changed.
Education hasn’t changed enough.
This isn’t a story about bad teachers or failing parents. It’s a question about what children now need.
The information shift
AI can explain almost anything. Google can retrieve it. YouTube can teach it. Your child can get an answer in seconds.
The real question is: what will they do with it?
The future belongs to children who can ask better questions, connect ideas, discern truth and turn knowledge into something meaningful.
We believe those skills must stand on something deeper: knowing who they are, why they were made, and what their knowledge is for.
The big shift
The old model
One teacher. Thirty children. One pace.
Faith at home. Learning somewhere else.
Memorize. Test. Forget.
Children adapt to the system.
Success measured mostly in grades.
Kingdom Thinkers Academy
Small live classes. Personal mentorship. Responsive pathways.
Faith and learning in the same conversation.
Question. Build. Defend. Create. Ship.
Learning adapts to the learner.
Growth shown in portfolios, projects and real work.
We are not trying to build a better version of school.
We’re asking a different question: what does a child actually need to flourish?
See if it fits my familyFaith isn’t another subject on the schedule. Scripture is the lens we read every subject through.
Children shouldn’t disappear into a classroom. They need adults who know their name, notice their growth and walk with them.
They research, write, design, build, present, launch and serve. Their work means something beyond a worksheet.
Critical thinking. Communication. AI literacy. Entrepreneurship. Creativity. Collaboration. A biblical worldview.


Instead of teaching every subject in its own box, we build learning around meaningful questions and real projects. Because that is how the real world works.

Live now: these programs are running today with our Australian families
Each pack walks you through the big question, every learning area, eight real workbook tasks and the session-long project.
One project. Every subject. Real purpose.
Our method
Hear Kale explain our approach to learning, and why subjects work best when they connect around real questions and projects.

01 · The method
Educators notice, interpret and respond to each learner, connecting their interests, needs and growth with biblical truth.
02 · The structure
Every learning cycle anchors to one of five biblical themes:
Made In His Image™
In The World, Not Of It™
In His Hands™
Creation™
Alpha & Omega™
03 · The mode
Subjects connect around meaningful problems, questions and projects, the way they do in real life.
How a 10-week session works · The Kingdom Inquiry Cycle
A session isn’t ten separate lessons. It’s one connected inquiry built around a Driving Question worth answering, where knowledge, Scripture, creativity and real projects build on one another.
Each phase has its own set of KTA+ Inquiry Cards, in the same color. The questions above are real prompts from the cards.
The 5 Theme Framework™
Every 10-week cycle follows one of five themes.
Five lenses on God’s story. Each learning cycle is anchored in one theme, and the Driving Question, Scripture, projects and workbook all grow out of it. The sample packs above come from Made in His Image.
Live sessions every week
Two 60-minute sessions for ages 8+, and three 25-minute sessions for under 8s, usually Monday to Thursday between 9am and 2pm Eastern and Central time, with a summary in your inbox after every session.
Teaching stays explicit
Educators teach knowledge, vocabulary and skills directly. Students take more ownership as their understanding grows.
Growth, not just a grade
Assessment looks at character, understanding and skill alongside the quality of the final product.
Swipe through the cycle. From our post “How are our 10-week learning cycles structured?”
For your kitchen table
The KTA+ Inquiry Cards were created by Kale so families can bring the way we teach into everyday life. Pull a card at breakfast, in the car or on a walk, and watch a simple question turn into real thinking.
Each card follows the same Wonder, Seek, Discover, Connect, Share and Grow cycle your child learns in. Ask. Discuss. Explore. Connect.
An optional extra, not required to complete a KTA program.






Every card has a question on the front. The back gives a verse, a hands-on activity and a “Go deeper” question. 52 prompts across the six phases of the Kingdom Inquiry Cycle.
A teacher manages a classroom.
A mentor walks with a child.
Every week, a mentor who knows your child by name meets with them live online, face to face on a video call from your own home, for:
Mentorship doesn’t replace you. It surrounds you.
You stay the primary voice in your child’s life. We help carry the academic, vocational and spiritual weight alongside your family.
Our story
Kale Kneale is an educator and former school leader. Years inside schools, working closely with students and their families, kept bringing him back to one question: what does a child actually need to flourish?
When his own children came along, the questions got personal. He wanted an education that was academically rich, deeply personal, ready for the world they’ll actually enter, and grounded in God’s Word. He couldn’t find it, so he started building it.
After building Kingdom Thinkers Academy with families across Australia, Kale and his family have now relocated to North Carolina. Classes are still running for our Australian families, and they’re now beginning for families here in the US.
“I started asking a simple question: if I could build the education I want for my own children, what would it look like?”
Kingdom Thinkers Academy is our answer.

Our programs are live and running now for families in Australia. Our first US cohort is just forming, so everything here comes from our Australian families: a look at a recent gathering, then what parents tell us.
“I was so delighted to find Kingdom Thinkers Academy, which was referred to me by a friend. We wanted someone we could trust to reflect our values in the way, what, and how they taught my son.”
Jennifer · KTA+ parent, Australia“KTA has taught my son how to think critically, analyse, and even find hope again for his future and learning journey.”
Ryan · KTA+ parent, Australia“It has taken the pressure off us knowing that someone is supporting our daughter’s needs and what she wants to learn about.”
Martene · KTA+ parent, Australia“The KTA educators & community have been amazing & so encouraging. We are surely proud to be a part of this learning community.”
Rachaellee · KTA+ parent, Australia“Highly recommended! My boys absolutely love learning with iProject and admire and respect their teacher.”
Bek · KTA+ parent, Australia“Thank you, Brodie & Kale, for figuring out what’s important and for inspiring the kids to love learning so much! It really is how it should be.”
Jen · KTA+ parent, AustraliaMaybe you’ve thought…
“I know something needs to change, but I don’t know where to start.”
“I don’t want to recreate school at my kitchen table.”
“I’m worried I won’t be able to teach everything.”
“My child is capable of more than worksheets.”
“I want them ready for the future without losing their faith.”
“I want someone else in their corner.”
“I want learning to mean something again.”

You don’t have to build this alone.

Book a 15- or 30-minute conversationKingdom Thinkers Academy began in Australia, and our founder Kale Kneale and his family have now relocated to North Carolina. Classes are still running for our Australian families, and US classes are now beginning. The classes on this page are run purely for US families and delivered in the United States by The Transformation Network LLC, with live sessions scheduled for US time zones.
All classes are live online. Two 60-minute sessions a week for ages 8+, and three 25-minute sessions for under 8s. Class days vary by group, but are usually Monday to Thursday between 9am and 2pm Eastern and Central time.
Each group class begins as soon as five students in that age group enroll, and we’ll keep you posted as your child’s group fills. iProject International is one-to-one, so it can begin anytime.
KTA is a full curriculum across the year, not an add-on. Daily hours depend on each student, and we give you recommended hours to guide your week.
Homeschool rules vary by state, and you remain your child’s home educator. You’ll receive weekly session reports, and each session produces workbooks and a portfolio you can keep as records. We can also provide the registration pack details your state requires. As an independent company, we don’t issue official transcripts.
Every educator undergoes a background check before they teach. Sessions can be recorded, so there is always a record of what happens in class.
Christ is at the center of everything we teach, and Scripture is the lens for every subject. Scripture in our materials is quoted from the NASB. Read our statement of faith.
ESA options exist, but approved-vendor status varies by state. Contact us to confirm whether we’re an approved vendor in your state before you enroll.
Your first week is free, and you can pay weekly, every two weeks, monthly or per 10-week session. A card is needed to start the free week, and cancellation needs two weeks’ notice.
Today, programs run on a trusted third-party learning platform, Mighty Networks, where your child accesses their learning and you message their mentors. KTA+ is our own platform, now in development.
What we believe
Everything we teach stands on these convictions. Tap any belief to read it in full.
We believe in the doctrinal infallibility and historicity of the original manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments.
We hold to the God of Israel as the One true God, a Triune God in three persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Salvation is by God’s grace alone through faith in Christ alone; new birth comes by repentance and faith in Jesus as the only provision for sin.
Jesus died on the cross, making a full and satisfactory atonement for man’s sin.
Humanity and creation are fallen; no one can justify themselves before a perfect God.
Genesis 1–11 records actual history; creation days were six consecutive 24-hour days; a global flood occurred in Noah’s day; we reject attempts to fit evolution or millions of years into Genesis.
Male and female reflect God’s image; life begins at conception; abortion and euthanasia violate the sanctity of life; there is one human race with equal dignity for all.
Marriage is between one man and one woman; gender and biological sex are equivalent and cannot be separated.
Parents are responsible to bring up children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Gentiles who place their faith in Jesus are grafted into God’s covenant people through faith, sharing in the blessings of God’s promises alongside believing Jews, as described in Romans 11. God’s covenant with Israel is irrevocable, and His redemptive purposes include Israel’s preservation, regathering, and future salvation.
We hold to a pre-millennial return of Christ, when He will establish His millennial Kingdom on earth.
We seek Spirit-led unity with Bible-based evangelicals while rejecting ecumenism with groups holding a different gospel or authority.
God promises the continuance of seasons despite climate changes.
We reject modern forms of social justice, intersectionality, and critical race theory as anti-biblical and destructive to human flourishing.
Tell us a little about your family and we’ll help you explore the possibilities.
