Kristen McCullough and Diana Corey, Spanish and Mandarin teachers respectively, took a wonderful group of students to Panama this month! Their favorite adventures included touring a pineapple farm, dancing and playing soccer with the indigenous Emberá people, and spotting sloths. Thank you to our passionate language teachers for making this trip possible, and our adventurous students who are becoming wonderful global citizens. International (and local!)...

Crossroads is special to me personally because it’s a place where students can really be seen and really grow into themselves. We provide a vital space where they are learning who they are and trying to figure out their place in the world. As a person, I have experienced Crossroads from a couple different domains: being at Crossroads as a...

We sang our way into summer with the annual lip sync battle after a series of House vs. House activities! No student should graduate high school without having the chance to do the wobble with their teachers, sing “We Are Young” with their classmates, and watch their science teacher perform “ballad of a highschool girl” with perfect Olivia Rodrigo poise....

Our Middle Schoolers close every year celebrating the community they have created and the ways they’ve grown as people at a camp retreat. This year, they’ve hiked to Panther Den, learned about ancient weapons, experienced local flora and fauna up close, and even had s’more fun!  They celebrated their return home with a Family Potluck Breakfast. Our Middle School has been quite formidable this...

Joe Guzon ’24 and Esmé Schuman ’26 recently performed on the Fabulous Fox Theatre stage to a packed house. They represented Crossroads in a group of students from St. Louis and surrounding counties at St. Louis Musical Theater Awards night.  What an incredible experience! Joe and Esmé were chosen to represent Crossroads because of their long term, multi-faceted dedication to Theater at Crossroads and beyond....

After an epic robotics season, the Servo Stressors climbed to their biggest victory of the year South St. Louis League Championship. They achieved a phenomenal record of 5-1 for the day among 22 other teams and finished second overall in the final competition round. They also received a second place Control Award because of the quality and reliability of their...

It was a privilege to celebrate the impact the class of 2024 has made on Crossroads at their graduation. We have had the immense pleasure of this class’ beautiful words, art, music, and laughter fill our hearts and our halls over these last six years. Graduation day was a testament to their unique, warm authenticity and the acts of kindness with which they formed their class and reshaped the...

All independent schools, including Crossroads, offer significant advantages to their students when compared with other public and non-public choices. Smaller class sizes, an admissions program that seeks to enroll students who will benefit from and contribute to the school, curricular freedom with little or no state mandates, and the ability to define their own mission and core values that guide...

For our final 5th Day quarter of the year, we did things a little differently. While one of the strengths of 5th Day is mixing up 7th-12th graders to provide ample mentorship opportunities, we also recognize that different grades sometimes have different needs. This quarter was designed around those unique needs: 7th graders learned about world religions, 8th graders became...

Our teachers deserve celebration every day of the year, and we had so much fun dedicating a whole week to our appreciation. In celebrating all our educators, we recognize their hard work and integral role in our Crossroads community. What it means to be ‘Crossroadian’ starts with our teachers, who embody, reflect, and nurture kindness, dedication, and joy for learning....
