Steven Rayzer
Principal
Before coming to The Keystone School, my professional career included administration and teaching students of various backgrounds and settings including: Elementary, High School, Mental Health and Juvenile Corrections. I am certified to teach, K-12, in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Although my former position was in a “brick and mortar” setting, my goal is to maintain a student centered approach to instruction. My greatest initiative is to provide the leadership that will facilitate a school environment which provides an outstanding learning opportunity for our students. The educational program must be academically challenging and promote exploration of new ideas. Parents, teachers, support staff, and administration all have an important role encouraging students to be active learners. It is my sincere desire to provide expanded opportunities for our students to acquire the skills to become productive global citizens. Through a collegial partnership with everyone associated with The Keystone School, I am confident we are preparing our students to learn, grow, and compete in an ever changing society.
