Friends, Next year, we would love to welcome five more students to both our 7th and 8th grade classes. We say it time and again: Word of mouth is the best way to promote and fill our school. We would like to ask for your help talking with your neighbors and colleagues about Crossroads College Preparatory School and why it...

This year the seventh graders at Crossroads participated with 45 other schools in the Green Schools Quest and won 3rd place! We have a LEED Platinum building, but few of the students and staff knew about all of its green features. All 32 seventh graders researched and became experts on the sustainability aspects of our school then educated their peers...
