Rating 4.17 out of 5 58 reviews
I’m contradicting my prior “excellent” review. In June the board abruptly terminated the Head of School, whose promotion of a kind and inclusive culture was the primary reason we chose Crossroads. The reason provided was low student enrollment. I was appalled by the board's deflection of responsibility and the unkind and unfair manner in which they outright blamed the Head for matters beyond his control. Two excellent teachers were removed from the classroom to serve as Co-Heads, despite their apparent lack of leadership experience. The board explicitly stated that they avoided the title "Interim Co-Heads" because it suggested instability, which they seem to be trying to hide. With the significant faculty turnover following the questionable leadership and cultural changes, the school seems unstable and appears to be solely focused on attempting to increase enrollment in order to stay open. I fear the end is near and would NOT recommend sending your child to Crossroads.
We have toured all independent secondary schools in St. Louis. As an educator and a parent of a child in their 5th year at Crossroads, we made an intentional decision to join the community after recognizing their unique and genuine commitment to relationship, intellectual curiosity, individual and community care, and centering of equity and justice. As an educator who's had the opportunity to engage with teachers across many states and learning communities, Crossroads teachers are stellar. They prioritize and are current in their knowledge of best practices in education, and this is reflected in the ways they engage diverse learners and content. As a parent, our child communicates feeling deeply known, trusted and valued as a learner and a person. As a family, we feel a true sense of belonging and that our insight and ideas are appreciated and heard, particularly this year. We love the people that Crossroads attracts: interesting, smart, engaged, and open. A rare gem of a school.
The excellent teachers, the culture, and many other qualities are what make Crossroads such an amazing school. The teachers are authentically enthused about their subject area and they are each experts in the art and skill of teaching. They each have a sincere commitment for excellence and for teaching high level college preparation.
The teachers and administrators are also always willing to jump in to support creative and uplifting projects and community fun.
Crossroads enjoys a small environment where everyone is "seen" and known by the teachers and the administration.
