Education Through God’s Eyes
At Konos, we teach that God is the source of all knowledge and the foundation of learning. The name Konos, meaning “cone” in Greek, reflects our biblical worldview — placing God at the top of all areas of life. His presence is revealed through both creation and human design, making theology, science, and the humanities essential to a well-rounded education.
Dr. Lindsay Pope
“Konos has transformed my children in the last two years we have attended. Konos raises the bar for students, truly treats them like adults, and expects them to rise to meet that occasion.”
— Dr. Lindsay Pope
Our Founders
After meeting at L’Abri and marrying in 1971, Charles and Carole Thaxton incorporated Konos, Inc. as a teaching, training, counseling center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
After moving to Dallas, where Charles worked with Probe Ministries, the Thaxtons resolved to teach their own children according to the Konos model of incorporating academic subjects within a character development framework and called their home-school Konos Academy. Carole Thaxton and Jessica Hulcy co-authored the Konos curriculum unit studies.
Dr. Charles wrote The Mystery of Life’s Origin in 1986. Translation of The Mystery of Life’s Origin and later The Soul of Science into several Eastern European languages led to extensive travel throughout Eastern Europe. The Thaxton family decided to reside in Prague for six years for more intensive ministry. Carole’s forte of education and counseling prepared her not only for home-schooling their own sons but in founding the Konos Academy of Prague. In 2001, the Thaxtons moved to Fayetteville, GA, and began Konos Academy. In 2017, the baton of leadership was passed to John and Joanne Lee and in 2019 Konos purchased their first school facility in Tyrone, Georgia. With nearly 400 students, Konos is working on plans for a multi-use building to meet their growing needs.
