The KEY Academy offers a variety of learning experiences for community members. 

KOKOMO, Ind. — Relive 90s era music and culture, see the world premiere of an opera about Anne Frank, or experience Latino culture through ballet with Indiana University Kokomo’s KEY Academy.

Five opportunities are available for the spring 2023 semester, which include travel to IU Bloomington and IUPUI for performances supplemented by lectures from faculty and other experts to enhance the experience.

Chancellor Mark Canada said experiential learning has become the campus’s trademark, and that KEY Academy expands that opportunity to area residents.

“I think people who love to learn, like me, will love the KEY Academy, which is designed for lifelong learners,” he said. “What makes it special is that we often provide trips and other forms of experiential learning. It’s a terrific way to learn.”

Upcoming KEY Academy trips include:

  • February 10: Performance of the opera Ainadamar at IU Bloomington, led by Christine Taff, senior lecturer in Spanish, and J.R. Pico, teaching professor in Spanish and humanities.
