# Values
“Knowledge, wisdom, and agency are the foundations of a better world.”
Kerketh Academy was originally a sister school built by The Kybis Assembly. It was to serve the purpose of bolstering lesser minds, to find those capable of great things.

It is now a place where anyone can come to learn, and better their minds.
