CREATING CHRONOS ACADEMY

Celeste Ezell Head of School

When Celeste’s husband had a crazy idea, this time for a school that integrates every lesson to a single historical timeline, she responded, “We can do that.” And she did. She created a curriculum: a four year schedule of weekly topics in history, math, science, grammar, art, and literature, writing assignments and Making projects. Then she wrote and recorded 200 short songs for memorizing weekly history, skip counting math, the countries of the world and a 15-minute timeline medley spanning the past ten thousand years.

A school was born. Chronos Academy reaches kids who otherwise languish in traditional curricula. These children breeze through their assignments or understand the topics deeply and wait for their class to catch up. But Chronos Academy turns on the academic firehose and offers students a drink. Gifted and talented students are motivated by that challenge.

A gifted child herself, Celeste challenges her English and Latin students to grow their skills, recruits new families, trains teachers, and choreographs the history songs to make them even more memorable and fun. Her greatest gift to her students is her social emotional coaching: caring for each child and helping them individually navigate their challenges and celebrate their successes throughout the day.
