Middle School Admission


Grades 5-8
 

Middle School is a time of transition; a time of self-discovery and personal growth that lays the foundation for future success.

Key is a place that focuses on all aspects of students’ growth simultaneously. Our Middle School students are equipped with the capacity to measure their knowledge and skills, but also given flexibility in how they learn.

Our Middle School program:

  • Helps students develop effective organization, study and time management skills in a supportive and challenging environment
  • Encourages students to try new things to identify their own interests and strengths
  • Values teaching students how to learn and constructs knowledge through a project-based curriculum
  • Provides the opportunity for students to have a focused and interactive learning experience with small class sizes
  • Celebrates diversity and nurtures individuality
