What makes Crestmont special?
-
We define rigor as work that challenges students in new and interesting ways.
Our curriculum is engaging, stretches thinking, and cultivates a love of deep knowledge, while always guiding students to reach their personal potential.
-
At Crestmont, we view social-emotional learning as a cornerstone of primary education—equipping children with the empathy, resilience, and self-awareness they need not only to succeed in school, but to flourish throughout their lives.
-
At Crestmont, we honor the dignity and individuality of every child. Our intentionally small class sizes allow us to tailor learning to each student’s needs while cultivating a caring, connected community where every child feels they belong.
-
Teachers and families alike have a voice in the Crestmont community, and parents actively participate in their children’s education.
And community labor means lower tuition!
-
At Crestmont, social justice is not an add-on but an integral part of our curriculum.
-
Our curriculum embraces the application of project-based learning, research, exploration and hands-on experience through field trips that take students across the diverse landscape of the Bay Area.
