Middle & Upper School Admission
Core Values
At Crossroads, we deeply question and critically examine how each program and curriculum will benefit our students. Our admission process mirrors this commitment and by design will help clarify your educational wishes and values. Read on to discover what we value in admission.
List of 6 items.
-
A Humane Process
We want this process to be as enjoyable, easy and accessible as possible. Our team is dedicated to helping you complete the process and we are here to help you along the way. -
Character and Academics
Grades don’t tell the whole story of your child. In addition to a strong academic profile, we want to understand the strengths your child possesses that influence their academic achievement and social-emotional growth. We ask all applicants to complete the Character Skills Snapshot, a cutting-edge tool that we believe in: Character skills are as important as academic skills in life and school success. -
Collaboration over Competition
We're different than other schools. We want to learn about your student in an authentic, collaborative environment with other students. Our Small Group Interview program* is designed for students to work together in comfortable and intentional settings. For the 2020-21 admission season, we will offer virtual group experiences for our applicants beginning in December.*Our Small Group Interview program will resume in Fall 2021. -
Student Voice
Above all, Crossroads honors and nurtures each student’s voice and ideas. Your child will have a number of ways throughout our process to share who they are with us, including through their student questions, interview and group experiences. -
The Right Match
Our Admission committees are made up of caring admission professionals, administrators and teachers who work hard to get to know your child and family during our multi-tiered and holistic review of every applicant. They are tasked with fulfilling the priorities of academic excellence, diversity and a commitement to the greater community. -
Transparency
The Admission process should not be mysterious or opaque. Our entire process is oriented to understanding your child and family, from the parent and student statements to the Character Skills Snapshot. We also openly share how the applicant review and selection processes work at Crossroads.
