Capital Campaign for the Future of Keys School
Heidi Hopper and Eli Abbe, Co-Chairs
For more than 30 years, Keys School has remained true to its founding commitments: to provide a stimulating, broad-based and child-centered education in a nurturing and creative environment. Our graduates have emerged as resourceful, curious, and caring people, poised for academic achievement and rich, full lives.
We are now on the cusp of a more permanent future for Keys School. With the growth of Keys School we will ensure the financial permanence of the school while improving the academic and co-curricular programs and facilities.
We will remain a K-8 school with a day-to-day focus on our present mission. We will continue to be a strong community, with opportunities for children of all ages to learn and grow by interacting with each other. We will continue to have intelligent, caring faculty and a supportive parent community.
....Imagine the Possibilities
Bright, airy classrooms equipped with sophisticated technology, ample storage space and flexible wall options to accommodate many styles of learning
Campuses tailored to meet the developmental needs of lower and middle school children
Two sections per grade, expanding social opportunities while decreasing individual class sizes
Two teachers per grade, working collegially to develop a curriculum that challenges children of various abilities and learning styles
A healthy endowment that mitigates tuition increases by providing a steady source of operating income each year
Space for students to study in groups or to work individually with teachers
Science labs with separate bench and desk stations to take full advantage of our advanced science curriculum, enabling more hands-on learning.
....Imagine the Future
Enhancing our already strong ability to attract and retain top-quality faculty by offering competitive salaries, benefits, professional development and an optimum teaching environment
A spacious library/media center with ample space for books and other resources suitable for students at each grade level
Meeting rooms for faculty, parents, volunteers and student groups
A comprehensive athletics program - with teams for basketball, soccer and other team sports!
Spacious fully-outfitted classrooms to support our strong music program
And much, much more!
Campaign Goals
To date, we have raised over $3,800,000 toward our goal of $4,000,0000. Achieving this goal is important for placing a down-payment on a new piece of property and is a condition for the bond financing. As a small independent school, we rely on a small group of donors to realize our dreams. This group of donors includes your family. Every gift counts, and we will strive for 100% participation from the Keys Community.
