Keystone Science School

Inspiring respect for science, the environment, self and others using scientific frameworks, inquiry and interdisciplinary academic instruction in the natural world.

Keystone Science School is a residential field science school that challenges citizens—from children to adults—to develop critical thinking skills as they follow a path that explores nature and science education. Making extensive use of the outdoor laboratory around us, we nurture scientific inquiry and cultivate sensitivity to the natural environment.

Keystone Science School knows that today's youth are the future leaders who will develop policies and make decisions impacting our world. To help them be engaged citizens in the future, Keystone Science School has created educational and interactive science education programs that stimulate young minds and make them comfortable with scientific and critical thinking.
