    A Choice Program for KSD Students

    Kent-Meridian Technology Academy (KMTA) is a choice program offered to all Kent School District students. While the program is offered at Kent-Meridian High School, students from any middle school in the district can apply to attend. KMTA offers a unique learning environment focused on project-based learning, technology application, student-focused scheduling, and small learning communities. Our program is based on strong and supportive relationships between students and teachers.  

    Project-Based Learning

    A core principle of KMTA education is to teach through projects as often as possible.

    Cross-Curricular Projects

    Cross-curricular learning allows students to do projects that are no longer separated by class-subject boundaries.

    Student-Focused Schedule

    Personalized Learning Time (PLT) is built into each school day. Students choose which subject, class or project they need to spend extra time on.

    Small Learning Communities

    Students will share many of their classes with the same groups of students, creating opportunities to build strong relationships with KMTA peers and teachers.
