We believe in the best quality, especially when it comes to the education of our children. KEY has worked with both of our children. Our son took KEY’s etiquette course and after that we noticed a remarkable change in the way he interacts with others, especially adults. Our friends and relatives have even commented on his increased confidence. KEY helped our daughter gain admissions to one of the most competitive private schools by advising us every step of the process. KEY’s levels of dedication, service, and quality are unmatched. We have no doubt that KEY will be the go-to place for families wanting the best admissions advice and enrichment programs.

Reading and Writing Comprehension
Body
We perform a comprehensive evaluation of your child’s reading and writing skills to determine their current levels, weaknesses, areas for growth, and interests to create a plan that helps them grow in skills and confidence in order to find their own voice.
Soft Skills Assessment
How your child presents him/herself can make the difference when it comes to success in the classroom, in the admissions process, and ultimately, in life. Our assessment includes examining soft skills including confidence, attitude, personal conduct and communication styles to determine the best approach to offer transformational learning experiences that enable personal growth.
Learning Style Assessment:
Each student learns in different ways. At KEY, we do not take a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, our assessment includes an evaluation of how your child learns. Through this approach, we can better understand how to help your child access their learning goals, match them with the teacher(s) whose teaching style suits them best, and provide customized resources to ensure their success.
Thanks for all of your hard work and outstanding contributions for my son’s achievement. In his private school interview, I saw a different side of my son; a confident, positive, and polite young man. After the principal of Richmond Christian School interviewed my son, he made offered admission on the spot and welcomed my son to the school community. It was great news for both my son and me. I believe Richmond Christian School will be a great challenge for my son and I’d love to ask KEY’s assistance to continue helping him achieve a higher level of educational goals and realizing his value in life.
Success Story
She again thanked KEY for everything that we did to ensure that her two children got into one of the more competitive private schools in town. Before her children came to KEY, they were polite and kind, but shy and quiet. Through our Keys to Success program, they learned about different topics and subjects, all the while improving their English. They also developed their confidence through presentations to their class and during the parent-teacher night performance. Moreover, not only did they make friends in class, but they also learned to work well and cooperate with students from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. For their interview preparation, we taught both students how to interact with their interviewers and how to ask them questions about Collingwood. They also were taught how to greet and say goodbye to the interviewer properly with the right handshake, eye contact, and smile.
