Last year, I was too chicken (yes, I admit it) to check out our haunted house since I’d watched too many horror films that had my imagination in overdrive. This year, I did the unthinkable, I took the tour alone and it was worth it. If you missed out on getting to trick-or-treat, tour the heart-racing school themed haunted house, or take part in the numerous Halloween themed activities last weekend at the Canadian International School of Beijing, then worry not as there’s a second chance to enjoy the frills and thrills of Halloween with us at Keystone Academy however only a limited number of tickets are still available.

Here are some photos of the CISB’s session held on October 25, 2015.

Founding Headmaster of Keystone Academy Malcolm McKenzie recently had his article, “Learning from the World and Learning for the World; An Essay on World Schools” published in the Journal of Research in International Education. McKenzie writes from his perspective as a school leader and educator and investigates how a school can become a meaningful world school that produces students who possess an international perspective. The article is written from his personal experiences, though his comments are representative of Keystone’s educational ideals and the future model of education. Read the full article here.

Keystone Academy, the American-style boarding school set to open in Beijing in September, 2014, will begin formally accepting applications for grades 1 through 9 for its inaugural class this September. The school has a video in which Rachael Beare, dean of admissions, explains the school’s admissions process and the type of student the academy is looking for, as well as what will make Keystone unique.

Keystone Academy, which takes from the best aspects of the most prestigious boarding schools in the US, will combine international education principles with the best practices and traditions of Chinese history, culture, and education, to form a wholly new education model. In the primary years, Keystone will use the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), the IB Middle Years Program, and the IB Diploma Program in the final years of high school.

The leaders for Keystone Academy, Beijing’s new international boarding school, arrive in Beijing this month. Set to begin full-time preparations for the school’s fall 2014 opening, the team is led by Malcolm McKenzie, who was most recently Head of School at The Hotchkiss School in the US.

 

For more information on applications and information sessions, visit the school’s website. Additionally, watch a video interview of Keystone’s Founding President, Dr. Edward Shanahan, in which he explores creating China-specific world-class education in China, as well as the school’s unique principles and his outlook for the next 100 years of Keystone. He will also discuss future cooperation between Keystone and the elite US boarding schools on which Keystone is modeled.
