Kennedy's program is based on a comprehensive set of grade-level expectations for student achievement in grades K-4. Teachers apply a set of grade-level expectations to spark student achievement in reading, mathematics, science, social studies, music, the arts, physical education, health and technology education.

Kennedy staff delivers an array of services to equip all learners with measurable skills for lifelong education. From supporting students with specific learning or physical needs to extending learning beyond the class-room, Kennedy's teachers expect the best from their students and from themselves.
