What people are saying
“Kay-Twelve was outstanding in keeping me informed as the process went on. And really in the end, the renderings they were able to produce match what's in our classrooms right now. It was nice because they felt invested in the project too. They understood we were trying to do something unique, innovative, and different for the students of Arizona."

“First and Foremost, I want to express what a positive experience we had working with Kay-Twelve. I would encourage you to look at our website at Alturasacademy.org and go to Alturas Preparatory Academy to see the design of our school that they were so instrumental in creating. It is beyond creative and highly supports our instructional model. We are beyond thrilled with our experience and highly recommend Kay-Twelve."

"It is with genuine pleasure that I recommend Kay-Twelve in their quest to expand better learning environments across the school/classroom spectrum. They embraced our vision for transforming classroom spaces with flexible, uplifting, and motivating furniture to advance student/teacher/school learning experiences. At six different school sites, ranging from Pre-K through Grade 5, Kay-Twelve maximized efforts of impact through ongoing collaboration with district administration and school leadership. Their unwavering pledge to ensure supportive settings was welcomed, noted, and appreciated from start to finish! Throughout our furniture refresh project with Kay-Twelve, the Gary Community School Corporation (GCSC) was able to improve learning, innovate spaces, influence culture, and impact education (within and beyond our district).”
Toni R. Mitchell - Project Manager
Gary Community School Corporation
"I loved our experience with Kay-Twelve. From the minute we sat down together, I just felt very comfortable. I just felt like it was a very collaborative approach - they came up with the proposals and wanted to understand our mission and vision for the school and how we wanted our school to be different and I think they delivered a home run in my opinion."
