FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Keystone Learning Center Celebrates New Home with Community Open House
OSKALOOSA, KS John Dewey Learning Academy has been a vital resource for the community
to help students become independent learners. Keystone Learning Services is happy to
announce the opening a new facility to serve as a centrally located school and business office.
Community members are invited to celebrate this exciting milestone during an Open House on
Thursday, August 6, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at 202 Walnut Street in Oskaloosa. Guests are
encouraged to stop by, tour the new facility, meet the Keystone team, and see firsthand how this
new space will help students learn, grow, and thrive for years to come.
For generations, Keystone Learning Center has been dedicated to helping students become
confident, independent learners by providing specialized educational services and individualized
support. The new facility allows the organization to expand its programs and continue meeting
the evolving needs of local students and families.
Designed by HTK Architects and constructed by DCS Services, the building was thoughtfully
created around the students who will use it every day. The new home includes classrooms for
K-12 students and young adults, dedicated industrial arts and Family and Consumer
Sciences(FACS) learning spaces, and flexible areas where students can build life skills that
foster confidence and independence.
At the heart of the building is a multipurpose room to engage in a variety of activities while
doubling as their cafeteria and a storm shelter when needed. Outside, students will enjoy a new
accessible playground designed so children of all abilities can play and explore.
Keystone's mission is to facilitate educational partnerships and implement transformative
interventions that produce independent learners. Through collaboration with families, educators,
and community partners, the organization strives to prepare students with the academic, social,
and life skills they need for lifelong success.
The public is invited to attend the Open House and celebrate this new chapter for Keystone
Learning Center.
