Community Events
After School Virtual Chess Club
Chess is a fun game that teaches responsibility, improves discipline and sharpens thinking skills. It also builds confidence and teaches children to think before they act. Research shows the thinking skills children develop in chess carry over to other areas in their lives.
The instructor is Chess Master Gregory Acholonu, the owner of GCA Children’s Chess since 2013. He has extensive training and experience working with students of all ages and skill levels. He earned the title of National Master in 1982 and the title of Senior Master ten years later.
Key is offering a beginner/intermediate level class for grades 2-5 on Mondays and a more advanced level class for grades 5-12 on Wednesdays.
Annapolis Book Festival
The Annapolis Book Festival has been one of the premier community events in the region for nearly two decades. Every year more than 3,000 people attend this free Festival celebrating the beauty, power, passion, and excitement of the written word. The Annapolis Book Festival brings nationally renowned authors to the Key School to discuss their books and the craft of writing. The Festival also features children's activities, live music, and new and used book sales.
Seminar Series for Adults
The Key School Seminar Series for Adults is modeled after seminar classes taught at Key. The series seeks to engage adults from the surrounding community in spirited intellectual conversations about great novels, poems, films, and more.
