~ The Kids of the Kleos Community ~




Kleos Children's Community has children placed here by private families and by the State of Oregon. Link here for a downloadable application for child placement. Providing home care and a stable family environment is central to a child's ability to heal here at Kleos Children's Community.
Riversbend Academy, our on-site school, provides a robust, individualized education for the kids here at Kleos Children's Community. Recreational opportunities such as 4H, a creative art center, and a stimulating human prformance program, round out a wholesome, healthy experience for the kids.
The kids that come to Kleos Children's Community have, more often than not, experienced great difficulty at school. A chaotic home life has left large gaps in their education, even their attendance. Many have come to resent education as one more burden on their already troubled lives. Several have been convinced that they simply cannot succeed in school.
Riversbend is accredited by the state of Oregon as an alternative school.
Kleos' goal is to have each child graduate from high school with a meaningful diploma; that is to say each child truly has the skills to back up the piece of paper. The challenges to this goal are as varied as the kids at Riversbend. Many struggle with anger, and a lack of trust in adults from past hurts. The Riversbend Academy emphasizes consistency and gentleness to gradually win the students' trust. Reading is heavily emphasized.
Riversbend splits into preschool, Kindergarten, 1st-5th, 6th-8th, and 9th-12th grades. Within and between these groups, the older kids are often assigned to assist the younger kids. This promotes the notion of serving others, an important ingredient in a loving family.
