Scholarship Program Reconfirmed
Education must be the pursuit of excellence, and in honoring
this Keystone Academy mission the school has reconfirmed its
scholarship program. There are two scholarships on offer: Founders’
Scholarship and Junzi Scholarship. In honor of the men and women
who had the vision to create Keystone Academy, the Founders’
Scholarship is granted to students who distinguish themselves both
academically, and in character. All applicants are eligible to apply for
the Founders’ scholarship. Students applying to grades 10 and 11
who have demonstrated outstanding academic and leadership ability
in their previous schools will be considered for the Junzi Scholarship.
They are merit based, and valid for both years of the Diploma
Programme.
A Parley with the Pipa
On 27 November 2015, students from the Central Conservatory
of Music took the audience on a soulful journey across centuries
in a Pipa concert. Music from a Pipa bears the richness of not only
ancient China, but also that of other ancient cultures that it originally
comes from. Trained under the renowned professor of Chinese
folk music, Hao Yifan, her protégés presented a feast of centuries
of melodies and traditions as they played classical Pipa pieces from
different ancient Chinese dynasties. Keystone’s very own Music
teacher and Prof. Hao’s student, Yang Xue also joined in the concert.
Tchaikovsky at Keystone
The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine presented a New
Year’s concert at Keystone’s Performing Arts Center, on 8 January
2016. Conducted by renowned violinist Chai Liang, it was a
staggering musical evening as the Orchestra played Tchaikovsky’s
compositions. Two students also had the opportunity to perform
with the Orchestra. There was an additional surprise when the
Orchestra members broke out in song at the reception that
followed to share memories of their home and culture with the
Keystone community.
