About Our Academy
An unbelievable life experience
Early-age-curiosity about the secrets of modern technology pointed to an unlikely path for the founders of KA. Computers with their mysterious parts and strange languages led two Island boys to a life full of discoveries, constant work at the biggest companies in the world and a refusal to keep this secret to themselves.
Technology can no longer be elective
A lifelong and productive career starts with reading, writing and coding from the very first class. Anything else is a disservice to our kids. Far too often, formal education focuses on the first two subjects and leaves out the third. We're here to change this, one curious child at a time.

Coding is hands-on, not some read-about-it-in-a-book experience. There’s no FUN in FUNCTION unless you enjoy what you’re doing – the key word here is DOING!
Remote, not removed
Learning how to code is just the beginning because one thing leads to another. Good coders find themselves introduced to a whole new, very connected world. They acquire graphic design skills, keyboarding competence and presentation acumen. Most importantly, coders develop strong collaboration skills. They learn how to communicate and work with businesses, clients, writers, and other engineers.
Our Learning Initiatives
At Kerryn Academy, we constantly evaluate our progress and the extend of our reach in order to constantly adapt with the real conditions of children around the world in order to regularly improve our platform or implement new features or apps to bring our classes to our students in the reality of their environment or conditions. Over the past 2 years, as the result of our open-ended organic approach to reach as many students as we can, we've now have connected, welcomed and launched classes exclusively for students with learning disabilities. The results have been nothing but outstanding with these students demonstrating their strong interests in coding, achieving high scores across the board and even distinguishing themselves with the overall top academic achievements list 2 years in a row. At Kerryn Academy, inclusivity is not just a commitment but a cornerstone of our ethos. As pioneers in digital remote learning, we take pride in our tailored approaches to support diverse learning needs. Read below to understand our Inclusive Learning Initiatives and the ways we are implementing the lessons learned.
Inclusive Learning Initiatives
Learning DisabilitiesWithin our realm, we are dedicated to embracing neurodiversity. Our bespoke strategies for students with learning disabilities are meticulously designed to ensure that each learner, regardless of their unique profile, thrives within the realm of knowledge, and technology in particular.
Addressing Auditory ChallengesIn our commitment to fostering inclusivity, we have implemented class processes and sophisticated measures for teachers to address the needs of our deaf students. From sign language interpretation integrated into multimedia content to cutting-edge visual aids, we endeavor to create an environment where every student can fully participate.
Middle School Outreach
Embarking on a brand new outreach initiative, we are working on extending our commitment to inclusivity to many more middle schools in the Caribbean and are launching our program in as many as 4 new countries in Caribbean starting in Fall 2024. Our forthcoming program aims to lay the foundation for an inclusive learning experience from an early age, fostering an environment where every student can flourish and grow up to become a well integrated and at ease in this world driven more and more by technology.
Our Promise
In conclusion, our dedication to inclusivity goes beyond a website update – it is a testament to our commitment to empowering learners of all backgrounds. We invite you to join us in creating a narrative of empowerment and education that resonates far beyond the pixels of our platform. Please contact us if you are intested in helping make this promise a reality.

Sponsor a student
All our classes for students recommended from Caribbean schools are free of charge for the students. However, maintaining our cloud infrastructure to deliver remote classes, comes at a price and being able to cover those costs every month as a non-profit can quickly add up.
