As with many small, independent schools, CRA was faced with the circular need to expand physically and programmatically in order to meet the growing demand for its services while being fiscally challenged to fund such growth. In 2010, KSC was asked to provide CRA’s Board of Trustees with a road map to future programming and facilities expansion and the parent community with insight into the benefits of an extended Montessori continuum.
For over a decade later, KSC supported CRA’s vision of growth, stability, and a more mature and sustainable institution. At present, having increased enrollment by 50%, CRA has expanded upon its toddler and primary program foundations up to 6th grade, and become the only fully certified Montessori school in northern Kentucky. CRA is now on the cusp of the next stage of its development as it contemplates the feasibility of a safe, healthy, and sustainable campus home of its own.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kevin on a variety of projects over the past 10 years. I cannot express enough how valuable his expertise has been for our school community. From board development to strategic planning to capital projects, Kevin has provided us with comprehensive assessments of our school’s strengths and areas for improvement. He then worked closely with us to create a customized action plan.
His deep knowledge of Montessori philosophy and methodology, coupled with his practical experience in managing schools, was instrumental in helping us make significant improvements. I would highly recommend Kevin Campbell to any school looking to improve their program and take their school to the next level.”
— Former Head of School, Lisa Dieso
