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.

I am a Key School alum getting ready to start my first year of college, and I feel very prepared, confident, and ready to take on this next chapter of my life, and I credit that to Key. Key School does an extraordinary job guiding students and shaping them into well informed, thoughtful citizens. I feel very fortunate to have been part of a community that is so welcoming, kind, and enthusiastic. I hope to find every great aspect of Key at my school this upcoming year.

There is a ton of wealth...

The faculty are available to help problem solve any challenges our kids have had, and they have helped come up with...

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.
