Start Little: End Big

Choosing Keith for your child opens a world of possibilities—every day that they attend, and for the rest of their lives. As part of our close-knit Cougar family, you will watch your student grow and flourish with outstanding academics, community service, real-world experiences, and activities for every interest. Through it all, our dedicated team guides students with expertise and the understanding that every child learns at their own pace and in their own way. Our innovative approach works. Keith students excel, and upon graduation, they achieve big goals. Just ask our alumni whose classes averaged between $2 million -$5 million in merit-based scholarships for the 13-30 graduates each year!
