Kissimmee Charter Academy

Kissimmee Charter Academy (KCA) is a K-8 school in Kissimmee,Florida. The elementary school mascot is Koalas and the middle school mascots are Timberwolves.

History

The school originally opened in July 2000 as an elementary school. In 2005, the school was expanded to 6th Grade, and eventually to 7th and 8th Grade.

Building

KCA has 2 buildings connected by a walkway. The first contains classes for Pre-K to 1st Grade. This building also contains the nurse's office and 2 playgrounds, one for Pre-K and Kindergarteners and one, for the other grades. The middle space between the 2 buildings houses a HOPS garden (a.k.a the Bus area), a field, and a shaded area that was built in 2008. The second building is called the Main Building and houses the grades 2-8 classrooms. The building contains the Main Office used for registration, volunteer hour submission, and more. The second building also contains a Butterfly Garden, the Cafeteria, the Library, Computer Lab, teacher's lounge, basketball court, and soccer field w/goals. The basketball court, previously larger, was moved for construction of portables for music, art, and 2nd Grade classrooms, but the court has now been modified from 7 feet rims to 10 feet rims(regulation size). There is also a fence in the portable area designed to prevent students from running into the lake (filled with alligators, as presumed by some Kindergarten rumor). There was a hole next to the bushes on the sideline of the soccer field that can be crawled under the barbed-wire fence to the lake.
