Academics

At William D. Kelley, we seek to educate the whole child. Education of character helps children develop a sense of moral integrity and respect for the individual, the community, and democratic ideals. Education of the intellect concerns itself with understanding the learning process, developing intellectual skills, and acquiring knowledge.
