What makes KEYS GRACE ACADEMY extremely unique is the integration of Mesopotamian and Near East studies. Mesopotamia, the Cradle of Civilization, is the founding community of modern law, science, language and math. As its descendants continue to experience a population decline worldwide, we believe it is imperative to help preserve and focus on the rich culture and history. KEYS GRACE ACADEMY is in the final stages of formulating a complete Syriac curriculum to incorporate as a class for all students interested. In addition to the Syriac Language, course lessons focus on Mesopotamian and Near East culture and history.

The studies stimulate interests among general and ethnic communities on the culture, history, and language of Mesopotamia-in particular, the civilizations of Sumer, Babylonia and Assyria, as well as neighboring ancient civilizations, such as Persia and Afghanistan.
