Statement of faith
We believe the Bible to be inspired by the Holy Spirit in the original manuscripts and to be the infallible and authoritative Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21)
We believe in the Triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - three persons yet one God. (Matthew 28:19; I Corinthians 8:6)
We believe Satan and the demonic realm exists and desires to control and influence mankind for evil. (Ephesians 6:11,12; 2:2; Revelation 12:9,10)
We believe man is fallen, lost, sinful, and in need of a Savior. (Romans 3:10,23; John 3:3)
We believe Jesus is fully God and fully man in His virgin birth, death, bodily resurrection, present exaltation at God's right hand, and imminent return. (Matthew 1:23; Matthew 28:7; Hebrews 1:3; I Thessalonians 4:16-18)
We believe salvation is the free gift of God by grace and received by faith in Jesus, whose blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins. (John 1:12; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 1:7)
We believe in the resurrection of the saved to eternal life and the unsaved to eternal separation from God. (I Corinthians 15:50-58; Revelation 20:11-15)
We are members of the church, The Body and Bride of Christ, consisting only of born-again believers. (Acts 2:41; I Corinthians 12:12,13)
We believe Christ's Great Commission to the church: to go into all the world, preach the gospel to every person, baptize, and teach those who believe. (Matthew 28:18-20)
We believe marriage is ordained of God and is a spiritual and physical union in which a man and a woman are joined by God to live together as one. (Genesis 2:24; Mark 10:7)
We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. (Romans 1:26-29; I Corinthians 5:1, 6:9; Hebrews 13:4; Matthew 19:4)
We believe that God created each person as distinctively male or female in conformity with their biological sex. These two distinct yet complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Genesis 1:26-27)

History
Keswick Christian School opened its doors on the present 30-acre site in 1953 to 75 students as Grace Livingston Hill Memorial School. Having named the school after her mother, the Christian authoress Grace Livingston Hill, Ruth Munce was gripped with the desire to see children grow in mind and body under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The school today stands as a monument to the mighty God that this great woman loved, worshiped, and adored.
In 1962 the school adopted its current name as it merged with the Southern Keswick Bible Conference and Keswick Radio. By 1966 the school's enrollment had risen to 160, and in just four more years, the number of students climbed to 480. In 1973, with the school "bursting at the seams," the Board of Directors decided to expand its grade-level offerings to include the senior high school. Keswick graduated its first seniors in the spring of 1978. From 1977 through 1996 Keswick was blessed to be the Christian day school ministry of Chicago's Moody Bible Institute. In 1996 Moody Bible Institute returned the reins of ownership of the school to local control. Eventually, an independent self-perpetuating board of men and women began governance of the school.
Today Keswick continues to add honors and advanced placement courses, strengthen its relationships with local churches, have a thriving Parent-Teacher Fellowship, and provide ample service opportunities for our young people to be salt and light in our community. Keswick has much to be thankful for. The school board, staff, and parents have worked diligently to create and maintain a Christ-centered, academically-focused, relationship-oriented, excellence-driven, and service-minded culture and climate in which the biblical world and life view is faithfully modeled and taught. As such, we are teaching our children to enjoy God in every area of their lives for His glory and the good of others.
