Growing Stronger

Keswick School embraces a culture of growth and reliance for our students, staff, parents, and the program. As we move toward our 60th year as a therapeutic boarding school for boys and our sixth year as an independent non-profit, we continue our daily focus on building and maintaining a positive culture where we all learn and grow together.

Dr. Carol Dweck, an American psychologist and university professor, coined the “growth mindset” theory, which proposes that our abilities, talents, and capacities are not fixed but instead are malleable and able to be developed over time through experiences, learning, and hard work. Individuals with a growth mindset are quicker to embrace challenges and even failures as opportunities to learn.

As a learning community striving to grow stronger, we work to instill this growth mindset in all that we do. It informs our day-to-day decisions, our approach to working with struggling students, our encounters with the unexpected, and our interactions with all facets of our being together as a community.

A growth mindset and the ever-present capacity to lend support and care toward one another is vital to our success as we all strive to become better, more capable versions of ourselves.
