Keystone emphasizes motivation along with intellectual ability
in admitting students. During the admissions process, we look
for students who are highly motivated to achieve, who have a
range of interests and talents, and who have a great potential
for academic and personal growth. Through a strong academic curriculum,
enriched with opportunities for physical, social, creative, and
ethical growth, the school challenges students to develop diligence,
independence, self-discipline, responsibility, and inquisitiveness.
In addition to providing an academic curriculum that is one year
or more above grade level, Keystone is committed to providing
a positive and sustainable Social
and Emotional Learning environment
for all of our students.
The goal of the admissions process is to find the right
match between student and school and to provide the opportunity
for
all students to thrive. Requirements for admission include the
submission of school records, standardized test scores, and recommendations
from previous teachers, as well as a classroom visit or interview.
Offering admission to qualified students based on available space,
Keystone’s highly diverse community includes 17% of students
in grades 6-12 receiving financial aid. Keystone School does
not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national
or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies,
admissions policies, financial aid program, and other school
administered programs.
