Why Crestwood?

“I am a grade-ten student that just switched to Crestwood this year. From the minute I started, I have never met such great staff and students that are so welcoming. This year has been amazing already, and I love to come to school each day. Thank you for making learning so much fun!

—S. Mincer”

Your child’s future is no small matter, and choosing the right school for them needs to be a family decision. No one else can tell you what to do.

Our role is to provide you with the necessary information, answer any questions, and ultimately to help you decide if Crestwood is the right place for you.

We expect you to do your homework when you get to Crestwood, and you should be equally diligent when making your decision about attending our school. Please visit us at one of our Open Houses. Meet our faculty and administration and see for yourself how they relate to students and how students relate to them. Explore our facilities. Experience our community.

Please send us your questions, either through our office administrators, to our Head of School, or feel free to connect directly with any of the faculty or staff listed on our website. We’re also happy to arrange for you to meet some of the parents whose children already attend Crestwood.
