Welcome to KEYS Academy

Welcome to our new KEYS Academy Website! We hope that this site will give you a glimpse into our guiding principles of teaching and learning through Safety, Dignity, and Opportunity, and the commitment that our talented staff makes as they create and maintain environments in which students are available for learning. If there is any information that you cannot locate on our site, please let us know through the Contact Us link.

KEYS Academy schools are private, day, coeducational special education schools licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia to serve special education students in grades K-12 who have classifications of Emotional Disability(ED), Autism, Other Health Impairment (OHI), and/or Specific Learning Disability (SLD). KEYS Academy is committed to providing a quality education to students within their home community, and preparing students, when possible and appropriate, to return successfully to their home schools.

We also ask each parent to go through the student daily health screening checklists before sending your child to school each morning, and calling the Director immediately if there are any health concerns with your student or in your home.

Any students running a fever must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. Any student who is vomiting but be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school. For any other contagious viruses, please consult your doctor and school Director for guidelines for a safe return to school.

Our KEYS Academy schools remain committed to providing relevant learning opportunities via our blended instructional model. As always, we will continue supporting our students in effectively maintaining their well-being through our unique KEYS for a Big Life and Social Thinking curriculum.
