1/30/2026
The staff are very supportive and friendly, and it is easy to talk with them during office hours. The campus is beautiful, and the facilities are very nice. The school lunch is done through catering, and is expensive and not great. The sports are very inclusive, but not particularly high-level.

At The Key School, I've been taught to always think outside of the box. Within every project we do there is freedom and creativity. As a student who usually isn't creative, with the help of my teachers I have been able to come out of my shell in many classes. All the teachers here want the students to excel in the classroom, and in life.

There is a ton of wealth...

I have a rising Senior and Freshman at Key. We have been there since they were in 7th and 5th grades, respectively, following public school in the area. Key has been a wonderful fit for our family. We love the community at Key, which is down to earth and friendly. The campus makes you feel at home r...

I remember leaving the Open House and telling my husband, this school is going to be the perfect fit and boy was I right. The community is so welcoming. The teachers are fabulous! And the curriculum rounds it out because everything is great. Hands down, I would recommend Key School to everyone.
