Teleios Academy is an accredited, non-denominational K-8 private Christian school in Belton, Mo.
What is a hybrid school? Our hybrid school provides an educational model that combines teacher-led, traditional classroom learning with parent-selected supplemental enrichment.
Teleios Academy is a private, Christian school offering full academics three days a week and an optional enrichment program on the fourth day. Our experienced, Christian educators provide full curriculum planning, classroom instruction, grades, and all record-keeping. Although requirements for parental involvement are minimal, we intend to partner with parents to raise the next generation of God-followers.
This three-day academic model allows parents to choose our enrichment program on Fridays or pursue personalized enrichment opportunities on Monday and Friday of each week.
Appropriate grade levels may be combined into one classroom, allowing students to learn alongside and from each other. Our classes are capped at 1:15, ensuring the individual attention necessary for optimal learning.
Our shortened schedule also allows for one of the most affordable, accredited, in-person private educational options in the Kansas City Metro!

As Christians, we are called to fulfill our God-given calling to live a life that glorifies Him and emulates Christ. At Teleios Academics, our goal is to inspire students to fulfill the godly purpose for which they were made.
