Message from the Head
Dear visitor to the Crossroads College Prep website,
Welcome! As you navigate our website, I hope you come to understand the elements that make Crossroads College Prep such a unique and wonderful place.
Obviously, visiting us virtually cannot match the experience of actually being in our building, meeting with our students and teachers, and engaging in a conversation with the people that comprise our collegial community, and we invite you to come and see us in person.
As you learn more about Crossroads College Prep, you will come to realize that it is the combination of scholarship, imagination, and responsibility that differentiates us from other schools and enables our students to excel academically, express themselves artistically, compete athletically, and lead their peers and others in making our world a better place.
Simply put, students at Crossroads College Prep are active participants rather than spectators; this is why the finest colleges and universities across the country want our graduates. In a school where there is a culture of kindness and an expectation that everyone will be involved, students feel free to take risks in the classroom, on the playing fields, and in the arts. We believe in both challenging and supporting our students so they can go further than they ever envisioned. The painter will develop his technique, but he may also learn that he can run track; the star soccer player may earn All-State honors, but she may also find out that she loves chess or theater; the brilliant scientist will discover his inner poet. Regardless of their interests, all of our students know that they have a responsibility to help their schoolmates, their fellow residents of St. Louis, and their global partners in an ever-increasingly interrelated world.
We look forward to seeing you in the halls at Crossroads College Prep, but until then, we are glad you are here.
Sincerely,
Billy Handmaker
Head of School
