Core Values

List of 3 items.

A Humane Process

We want this process to be as enjoyable, compelling and accessible as possible. We greatly value an anxiety-free experience for students and we only require materials that are necessary for us to get to know your child and family.
Collaboration over Competition

We’re different from other schools. We want to learn about your student in an authentic, collaborative environment with other students. Our Small Group Interview program is designed for students to work together in comfortable and intentional settings.
Student Voice

Above all, Crossroads honors and nurtures each student’s voice and ideas. Your child will have a number of ways throughout our process to share who they are with us, including through their student questions and Small Group Interview.
