Keshet was founded 28 years ago by a group of Jewish parents who were concerned about the futures of their children who had special needs. Today, Keshet provides community-based educational, recreational and vocational programs to children, teens and young adults with developmental disabilities. The school's goal is to enable them to participate as fully as possible in mainstream society.
Students of Keshet share lunch periods, prayer services and other activities with children attending the Sager Solomon Schechter Day and Middle Schools, all housed in the same building on Dundee Road. Keshet's administrative offices are located at 617 Landwehr Road.
