KVC Academy moved into their new building off Route 66 in January and serves K-12 students with special education needs. They operate in smaller, private classrooms and partner with local school districts, using the same curriculum to give struggling students more individualized attention. KVC as a broader organization also serves children in foster care.


Ryan is asking the Lebanon community for help giving these kids the same opportunities other students have, from gym space and field trips to everyday essentials.
