Keystone School is a private co-ed school in the financial district of Toronto. Keystone provides small classes, a supportive, family-like environment with a project-based approach, preparing students to become well-rounded individuals. Keystone International School in Toronto is one of the best private high schools in Ontario, Canada for international students.
We see teaching and learning as a journey, where students are active participants who grow and develop both academically and socially. Students are actively engaged in their learning process through projects, events and activities that connect education with real life.
Keystone students become internationally-minded inquirers and thinkers, who ask questions and seek their own answers from both local and global perspectives. By nurturing students’ natural curiosity, we foster a love for learning.
In our English & French bilingual kindergarten program, children learn how to build, create, problem-solve, cooperate, communicate, enjoy activities, learn diversity, build self-esteem and be a part of a loving community.
