Recognized as one of the top college-preparatory schools in Northern Illinois, Keith Country Day School will host its annual Information Fair Saturday, March 3 from 10 a.m. to noon.
Celebrating 96 years of academic excellence, visiting families will have a chance to meet teachers and students, tour classrooms and obtain information about Keith’s curriculum, sports and fine arts programs, scholarships and financial assistance. In addition, visiting families will have a chance to see the school’s newest SMART board technology, which is featured in most classrooms.
“Our information fair is a wonderful opportunity to get to know our school,” said Alan Gibby, Keith’s Head of School. “Both teachers and students take great pride in showing off the campus and informing people about the programs we have.”
The 2011-12 school year has already been loaded with academic, fine arts and sports program successes.
Prior to press time, nearly 85% of the senior class had been offered academic scholarships for college admissions in 2012 and almost 25% of the junior class was named Illinois State Scholars this year.
In sports, the boy’s varsity soccer team finished the 2011 campaign as the #1 seed entering regional play and the girl’s varsity volleyball team won the Northern Athletic Conference title and tournament.
In fine arts, the drama department’s production of The Wind in the Willows was selected to perform at the 2012 Illinois Theater Festival and more than 30 lower, middle and upper school students showcased art work at the Rockford Public Library and Rock Valley College gallery nights.
