THE GOAL OF THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS is to ensure that the K-12 student population of over 1,100 reflects the school philosophy as broadly as possible. There is no "typical" Crossroads student because the school seeks students (and families) with diverse backgrounds, talents, and interests. In addition to evaluating individual merit and the appropriateness of a Crossroads education for each student, the composition of each class, and what a student will bring to that dynamic is also considered.

Crossroads School offers open enrollment based on application and admits students to the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of color, national or ethnic origin, religion or creed, sex, or sexual orientation in the administration of its educational policies, financial aid programs, or athletic and other school-administered programs. Crossroads seeks students with a range and depth of interests and talents. In addition, the school seeks to provide classes which balance boy/girl ratios, ethnic and socio-economic diversity, and heterogeneity in skills.
