Each member of the Keystone Academy community — parents, students, teachers and support staff — is expected to act in ways that show respect, compassion and consideration for others, and to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for all. In an atmosphere where safety, trust and belonging are our goals, we create a strong community partnership through a collective sense of values and traditions.

WORLD SCHOOL
Learn From the World, Learn For the World
Our idea of a world school is one that brings the world in various ways to local people and communities. We think a deep sense of public purpose and learning to serve should be systemic in a world school. Students and teachers should learn all the time from the world, but at the same time they should be learning for the world. Above all, a world school should develop a positive instinct for difference, and a desire to learn from otherness. A world school’s goal should be to produce national and global citizens, comfortable in their local identity but also cosmopolitan and completely at ease with otherness. This is our ambition at Keystone Academy.
