Martha Lyman To Set
up Keystone’s College
Counseling Program
Hundreds Seek Keystone’s Unique Education Model
Keystone Academy is in the planning
stage of setting up a college counseling
program to help and support our
students get into the international
colleges of their choosing. We have a
most experienced expert in the field
of college admission helping us with
this – Martha Lyman. Ms. Lyman
retired in June 2013 from a wellknown independent boarding school
in Massachusetts, Deerfield Academy,
as its Associate Head of School and
Director of College Advising. Before
that, she worked in the Admission
Office of Harvard University.
22 November 2014: Over 850 people attended the first semester’s Open House
Day. Prospective parents and students got a taste of the rich and culturally-rooted
education model that Keystone offers. Current parents and students also shared their
views and experiences giving guests the insider’s look into academic and residential
life at the school. Open House Day culminated in a campus tour led by our very own
boarding students.
Keystone PTA is in Office
9 December 2014: Keystone’s inaugural
Parent Teacher Association was formed
towards the end of the first school semester.
Our first-ever co-presidents are Stacey

Yuan and Wang Jianying, middle school
parents, Cao Xiaojing and Qu Songbai and
faculty members, Amanda Narkiewicz and

Strings of Symphony
11 December 2014: It was the ideal end-of-term musical evening. Cellist prodigy,
Feng Yao, enraptured the audience with his soulful performance from Bach to
Chopin, including even a number from the 2009 Academy Award winning Japanese
film, Departures. Feng Yao, Chinese-German, is a world-renowned cellist with
principal positions in Germany’s Schleswig Holstein Symphony Orchestra and
Malaysia Philharmonic Orchestra. Beginning his training at the age of 5, Feng Yao
had already won multiple awards and accolades by the age of 17.
