Learning at Crestwell School is an adventure. Our dynamic curriculum encourages children at each stage of their educational, emotional, and social development to discover their own innate talents and interests.

WHAT YOUR CHILD CAN EXPECT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
AT CRESTWELL SCHOOL
Middle School is a time of intellectual, emotional, social, and physical transformation. We attend to every aspect of the journey into and through the early teen years sharpening remarkably adept and mature young learners and people. Our Middle School curriculum immerses your child in hands-on exploration, sophisticated research, and active presentation. Your child steps forth from Middle School genuinely excited by their own wondrous possibilities. Having achieved more than they may have thought possible, they begin defining their own educational goals and making them happen. To ensure students can navigate the changes they’re experiencing, we weave social-emotional learning throughout the curriculum. Self-aware and empathetic, your child strives to grow from success and failure alike. Knowing who they are and what they can do, they take on leadership roles in the classroom, campus life, and the wider community.
EDUCATING THE WHOLE CHILD
At Crestwell School, we respect, celebrate, and encourage every child as a one-of-a-kind individual. That’s why our program is designed to ensure your child not only succeeds in school, college, and career, but also flourishes as a unique, resilient, and happy human being. By cultivating your child’s particular passions and talents, we give them the tools to reach higher in all their endeavors.Â
WORLD-CLASS CURRICULUM
Our challenging, developmentally calibrated curriculum ensures mastery in fundamental subject areas, while collaborative projects and individual attention spark your child’s enthusiasm and curiosity. Discovering more about the world and their own capabilities, your child builds confidence in themselves and their classmates. They ask big questions, seek meaningful solutions, and embrace opportunities to learn and do more.Â
CHARACTER VALUES
We uphold character values as a vital element of every child’s education. When character development is a natural and indispensable part of your child’s learning, they grow as insightful leaders and effective problem solvers. Equally important, they emerge with a strong moral compass that guides them all their lives. At Crestwell, students study and present on character values monthly.
