A Greeting from our Development Director

Welcome to Keystone!

As a thriving Montessori community, we are dedicated to ensuring the long-term sustainability of our school for generations to come. While sound fiscal management is a top priority, fundraising plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between our operating costs and the revenue received from state funding and tuition — a challenge made even greater by Arizona’s position as one of the lowest per-pupil funded states in the country.

Each year, the Keystone Board of Directors carefully assesses this gap and seeks the support of our community to maintain the programs, resources, and nurturing environment our students deserve. Contributions to Keystone help fund essential areas such as operating expenses, campus enhancements, faculty development, technology improvements, and classroom material replenishment.

We ask every Keystone family and friend to participate — in whatever way they are able — through our Sustaining Fund, the Public School Tax Credit Program, and special community events. Together, we ensure our students receive the most meaningful gift of all: an education that fosters a passion for excellence and a lifelong love of learning.
