Our Philosophy Statement
The School was built upon five basic commitments: to academic excellence; to the arts; to the
greater community; to the development of a student population of social, economic, and racial
diversity; and to the development of each student’s physical well-being and full human potential.

It is the goal of Crossroads School to provide a strong college preparatory program from which
each student will develop a personal commitment to learning, a respect for independent thinking,
and an expanding curiosity about the world and its people. We consider certain skills to be
essential for all graduates: to read well, to write clearly and coherently, to study effectively, to
reason soundly, and to question thoughtfully.

Through the educational process, we assist students in gaining self-esteem, self-knowledge, and
respect for the knowledge and opinions of others. We believe that education must not be a race
for the accumulation of facts, but should be an enriching end in itself. We also believe that
education is a joint venture among students, parents and teachers. To be effective with young
people, teachers and parents must themselves continue to learn, so that they may perceive the
young accurately and treat them wisely.

We believe that the arts are an essential part of the curriculum and that it is important for
students to express themselves creatively and to use their imaginations freely. Therefore, music,
drama, visual arts, film, writing and dance are significant parts of student life at Crossroads.

Through our academic and extra-curricular programs, we seek to promote social, political and
moral understanding, and to instill a respect for the humanity and ecology of the earth.

We understand that there are many kinds of intelligence, and the traditional academic, cognitive
area is one. Other important areas of intelligence are intuition, imagination, artistic creativity,
physical expression and performance, sensitivity to others and self-understanding. To neglect any
of these areas is to limit students in the development of their full human potential.

We believe that the uniqueness of children is revealed in their very existence and that it is the
School’s responsibility to foster their innate sense of the mystery and joy of life.

Our Diversity Statement
One of Crossroads School’s founding commitments is to develop a socially, economically and
racially diverse student body. We are equally committed to supporting a vibrant and diverse
workforce. Crossroads is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action
employer; we do not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, religious creed, color,
national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex,
gender or gender identity, age or sexual orientation. People of color, women and individuals with
disabilities are encouraged to apply.
