Who we are...

K.E.Y. Events began with the vision of "Opening the Door" to beautiful life events for the Northern Colorado Homeschool Community.

 

While some courses offer material in the classroom they often neglect applying the material to the real world. What sets KEY Events apart from the typical Etiquette course, is that we provide opportunities to practice throughout the year. From our Fall Barn Dance and Formal Events to the Valentine Bowling Party, these events offer opportunities for students to build social interactions and confidence that are key for social success.
