Hi, I'm currently a sophomore at Keystone, and I think the school is excellent. I've been going here since kindergarden and have loved every moment of it. Sometimes the atmosphere can seem a little small, but most of the time it is the best. The curriculum may push you to your limits sometimes, but it

Yes, there may be some minor dents in the beauty of Keystone, like there not being much support for athletics, but as being an athelete myself, it definately sustains one's want to be in a sport. Just don't expect to get a scholarship or anything like that for athletics. Read less

I am currently a freshman at Keystone School. I have been attending the school since 4th grade.

I went to this school, K-12 as did both of my older brothers and to be honest, it ain't what it used to be. A child no longer has to be gifted to be accepted; as long as his parents are willing to pay, anybody can get in. I can't rate the lower or middle school teachers since most of the teachers that

Keystone used to be awesome because it was so laid-back and unique and it still it is, kinda. The current administration has been pushing to make it more mainstream which I feel is ruining the unique atmosphere that makes Keystone great. Read less

Overall, one of the strongest schools in the entire country for college prep. Currently also NOT a school for the wealthy, encouraging matriculation for students who are capable and not just with big bankrolls. Read less

I am current parent at Keystone (2008) and I am more than pleased with this school. Other reviews of teacher turnover and headmaster issues are off base. For the 2007 school year all teachers that were offered a contract accepted, same with 2008 except for an upper school teacher who decided to retired.

There are 14 kids in our class and he loves to go to school everyday. My daughter is at Saint Mary's Hall and I prefer Keystone in all aspects except performing arts. Read less

It could be a wonderful school. This school is for those that can afford it, not the academically gifted anymore. It does not address the gifted students needs within the lower school. Once you are in, it is difficult to get out...we have no other options in SA.
