Mission Statement
Crossroads School strives to prepare students to think critically, express themselves openly and commit themselves to lives that value community, justice and activism. At Crossroads, you’ll find strong bonds between students and teachers; a welcoming, inclusive environment; and a joyful and diverse student body that approaches education with curiosity, creativity and courage.
About This Cause
Crossroads is a vibrant, relationship-based school with a founding commitment to the “greater community.” Started in 1971 and taking inspiration from the civil rights, anti-war and feminist movements, Crossroads was founded to be not just a school, but also a movement for positive social change in the world. This ambitious charge is part of the very DNA of Crossroads. Not only do our students engage in meaningful service learning and community service projects, but Crossroads as an institution considers serving the greater community a cornerstone of our mission. Key institutional service programs in Crossroads’ history include: The Crossroads Community Foundation (CCF), an institutional service initiative created in 1984 to develop and implement partnerships and programs that serve the greater community. P.S. Arts, launched in 1990 to provide visual and performing arts education to children in underserved LA public schools. Today, P.S. Arts is its own nonprofit, providing arts instruction to nearly 25,000 students in California. P.S. Science, launched in 2006 to provide hands-on science education and teacher training to students in underserved LA public schools. Today, P.S. science is its own nonprofit, serving 2,000 students at nine Title 1 elementary schools. The Crossroads School Equity & Justice Institute, opened in 2018 to bring new opportunities for service and innovation to our students while developing and supporting meaningful community action with partner organizations.
