Crossroads School provides a unique K-12 program built on a progressive, developmental model of education. The School was built upon five basic commitments: to academic excellence; to the arts; to the greater community; to the development of a student population of social, economic, and racial diversity; and to the development of each students physical well-being and full human potential. With its rich programs in academics, the arts, athletics, human development, and outdoor education, Crossroads pioneered the concept of an education in balance and today distinguishes itself from other independent schools as a home for passionate ideas and personal expression.
