Welcome to Crossroads Elementary
Crossroads offers two learning paths: a hands-on Science program and a Montessori program fostering independence and collaboration.
Science Sparks at Crossroads
Our Inquiry Zone is a hands-on science lab where students explore and experiment.
Growing Together in Our Montessori Community
Our multi-age classes and consistent teachers foster teamwork, self-discipline, and global citizenship in a cooperative, family-like setting.
