Keys Highlight: Exploring Curriculum and DEIJ at Keys

 

Keys School fosters an immersive educational environment where every student can feel seen, heard, and celebrated. Join us for an in-depth exploration of Keys’ dynamic curriculum, where Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) is an integral foundation of strong academics. Discover how an equal focus on essential skills, cross-disciplinary integration of identity, and authentic Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) allows for powerful academic experiences. Hear from our division heads and curriculum coordinators about how these experiences empower students to engage across social differences with the confidence to make meaningful connections. We are proud to share our approach to academics, DEIJ, and SEL with you, as we explore examples from our curriculum, and how our K-8 experience prepares our graduates for the world beyond Keys.

Join Us Here on Ravena for Our “DEIJ & Curriculum Night” Events:

  • Thursday, October 17th: 6 – 7 PM
  • Thursday, November 7th: 6 – 7 PM
