Keystone Academy was originally chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1868, with instruction beginning the following year in the local Baptist church in Factoryville. In 1870, ground was broken on the current site for the Academy's first building, Harris Hall, named after John Howard Harris, first president of Keystone. Harris Hall continues to serve Keystone College today.
The Academy flourished during its early years and established a standard of excellence that became a model in the area. Many distinguished scholars, among them the presidents of three universities, have graduated from Keystone.
