The Key Learning Community: Cultivating Multiple Intelligences
Key Learning Community opened its elementary school in 1987, its middle school in 1993, and its high school in 1999. In 2000, the three schools moved into a single building. Started by veteran teachers who were exploring creativity in children, Key Learning’s program is based on the theory of multiple intelligences, which holds that each individual possesses different forms of intelligence to greater or lesser degrees. Those intelligences are linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, naturalist, body-kinesthetic, intrapersonal — such as insight — and interpersonal — such as social skills. This theory was pioneered by Harvard University professor Howard Gardner.
