CROSSROADS HAS TWO CAMPUSES located two blocks apart in Santa Monica. They express the warmth, diversity, and comprehensive nature of the school's vision. The Elementary School, on the Norton campus, provides a nurturing home for three hundred K-5 students taking their first steps on the Crossroads journey. Middle and Upper School students are inspired by the eclectic style of the 21st Street campus. The Sports Center on the Norton Campus provides the K-12 link that binds the three divisions closely into one school with a shared vision. THE MIDDLE AND UPPER SCHOOL CAMPUS has evolved as the school has grown. It now houses a thriving community of over eight hundred students in grades six through twelve. Crossroads' enthusiastic approach to diversity is reflected in its wide variety of building styles. Building forms range from aesthetically distinguished to urban industrial. Building functions include fully equipped laboratories, a theater, music performance space, computer centers, a photography lab, the Keck Math/Science multi-disciplinary classrooms, the Peter Boxenbaum Arts Education Center (with two dance studios, art studios, and a screening room), and the striking 25,000 volume Paul Cummins Library. BOTH MIDDLE AND UPPER SCHOOL STUDENTS have access to the full range of Crossroads facilities. The Steve Morgan Middle School building serves as home base for Middle School students as they make the transition from the intimate environment of Elementary School to the vibrant variety of high school life. THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDING opened in September of 1997. Spacious, child-friendly classrooms, an extensive library, computer and science laboratories, and special rooms dedicated to music, art, and drama make this a cheerful, exciting place to start exploring the world. THE SPORTS CENTER unites the two campuses because it is used extensively by all groups within the community. It is a K-12 facility with a regulation soccer field, gymnasium, and swimming pool. The gymnasium building includes a large multi-purpose Community Room that meets the school's needs for additional performance space, division-wide student meetings, and community gatherings.
