School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>5 3/23/2020I am incredibly grateful that there was an alternative to our home public school, other than cyber. My son would continually complain of stomach problems prior to school, was visibly stressed out and defiant at home; then we tried Keystone. The stress, stomach problems and defiance all went away after he began attending. He talks well about the teachers and appreciates that they are actually trying to teach (opposed to just passing out handouts and driving standardized curriculum objectives - without regard to whether everyone is keeping up or not). Every child is an individual learner- there is no standardized child.. We are forever in your debt. Thank you!!!!!5 2/25/2017keystone charter school is the best for me because I am person who finds more one on one education better.
