From press release

Recognized as one of the top college-preparatory schools in northern Illinois, Keith Country Day School will host its annual Information Fair from 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Jan. 22.

Celebrating 95 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.

“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 2010-11 school year has already been loaded with academic, fine arts and sports program successes.

Prior to press time, nearly 70 percent of the senior class had been offered academic scholarships to college. School officials expect that percentage to be as high as 75 percent before June. In addition to scholarships, Keith seniors are being accepted into some of the best colleges in the country. Recent matriculation includes Yale University, Northwestern and the University of Chicago.

In sports, the boys’ varsity soccer team won the 2010 Regional Championship and the girls’ tennis team won its second consecutive sectional title.

In fine arts, the drama department just completed its run of A Christmas Carol, with five sold-out shows in December. And, while some students were showing off their skills on the stage, others showcased artwork at two different art openings during the last two months at the Rockford Public Library and Rock Valley College.

Keith Country Day School is an independent, nonsectarian, college-preparatory school founded by Belle Emerson Keith in 1916. On a 15-acre campus overlooking the Rock River, Keith serves students from age 3 through grade 12 from the northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin area. The school is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools and fully-accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States and the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
