Testimonials

“Keystone Freedom Academy is one of the first programs for students with behavior or emotional concerns to receive not only support for their areas of concern, but also keeps them up to date academically. As an emotional support teacher, I have never seen a program that addresses the whole child in terms of emotional and academic growth at the same time. The way they set up supports and rewards, students have no choice but to complete work. The staff is trained and calm and they teach students to use strategies and not to engage when angry. Lastly, KFA has a no physical restraint policy where students can feel safe and can practice making decisions to earn desired results.” – Parent

“I am a student at Keystone Freedom Academy and personally this school has helped me a lot with my personal issues, my educational issues and my attitude towards school. They have helped me to get straight A’s for the first time since elementary school. Keystone Freedom Academy has great staff that makes the day go by easier, the staff also check up on you and make sure they are doing everything they can to make sure we are okay and giving school our hardest try. They also understand that not everyone has the best days so when you are having a off day they try and help you out and make the day more comfortable for you.” –  Current Student

“This school did wonders for me. I was always struggling in school, I would pass by D’s and C’s. I have been in KFA for a year a half. The first year I passed with straight A’s. The work was hard but they didn’t just help me with the problems they taught me ways to work through the problem without help. Also, the small amount of students in each class made me feel comfortable raising my hand and asking questions. You have bad days which is normal but, the staff is always there for you and there to make you more successful in the present and the future.” – Former Student
