Schools
Keene's schools are our most precious jewels! Our public schools are among the finest in Texas, often earning "Exemplary" ratings from the Texas Education Service. Our private schools offer a affordable Christian education from Pre-K through Post-Graduate university degrees.

Southwestern Adventist University is a small Christian campus located between Cleburne and Burleson in the city of Keene. Southwestern offers many exciting career options, including nursing, chemistry, geology, psychology, communication, and more. Southwestern is credited with providing students with close interaction with professors; the average class size is 15.
Students in any major will be ready for the working world with the hands-on training they'll receive at Southwestern. The campus maintains its own radio station for communication majors, as well as a state-of-the-art production studio for Radio-TV-Film majors.
Nursing students also enjoy advanced technology in the classroom with mannequins that have the ability to go into cardiac arrest, give birth, or show signs of illness that must be diagnosed.
Students in the geology department benefit from digging up dinosaur bones in Wyoming on the school's own excavation site. Southwestern's Drake Paleontology Lab gives budding geologists a chance to clean and examine bones before they are photographed and uploaded to an Internet database.
Southwestern Adventist University is removed from the busy city and is a short distance from recreational areas and parks. Shopping, dining, and entertainment, though, are still only a few minutes away.
