ROCKFORD’S PREMIERE PRIVATE SCHOOL
PRESCHOOL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL
The #1 Ranked College-Preparatory School in the Region
We’re honored Keith School was again named the #1 private school in the Rockford area and received an A+ rating by Niche, an independent agency which combines rigorous analysis with authenticated reviews to highlight the best places to live and go to school. We’re even more proud of the educational achievements and family atmosphere we offer to our students every day.
We prepare our students for success in college and life beyond their formal education. We inspire them to explore and celebrate their unique abilities through an abundance of enrichment programs and opportunities – from individual and team sports to strong music and theater/arts programs to more than 35 leadership, academic and special interest organizations. In addition to a strong liberal arts curriculum, Keith emphasizes real-world experiences through signature programs, such as senior projects, leadership opportunities, and global awareness. Core values of trust, respect, and kindness permeate all school experiences.
