About
Honey Tree and Branches Academy, founded in 2007 in Wichita, KS, is a private, independent, Kansas State Department of Education–accredited preparatory school serving children from 12 months through Grade 8. Programs include Toddlers (12 months and walking to 24 months), Preschool and Pre‑Kindergarten (ages 2–5), Elementary (Kindergarten–Grade 5), and Middle School (Grades 6–8). The academy emphasizes small class sizes, standards‑based instruction, and individualized, differentiated learning. Its curriculum integrates creative strategies and hands‑on, project‑based experiences to build critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and problem‑solving skills. The mission centers on growing students socially and academically while developing leaders of character across four pillars: cognitive, physical, social, and emotional. A safe, structured, and inclusive environment promotes responsibility, respect, empathy, and integrity. Highly trained, licensed educators lead instruction, supported by up‑to‑date technology, multiple outdoor play areas, and sensory work stations. Additional offerings include Summer Enrichment, Before & After School care, and Winter/Spring Break programs, with therapy‑animal experiences that support student well‑being. Honey Tree and Branches Academy serves families in West Wichita and the Maize area with a consistent focus on academic excellence, social growth, emotional regulation, and physical wellness.
