"Key prepared me for the rigorous standards of a university setting, for working independently, and taught me how to enjoy the intellectual journey. I was uniquely prepared among my peers at Stanford for making critical and analytical deductions. Key also prepared me to compete at the college level in the sense that at Key I was exposed to everything: music, athletics, theater, writing, outdoor education, so I never felt that my horizon was limited."
Lindsey Campbell ‘95
