Students at Crenshaw--from the four-year olds in Pre-K4, to the young men and women in the Upper School--are deeply engaged in learning. They are alert, curious, and eager to ask questions. They offer their opinions freely and listen and respond to the views of others. They are proud of their work and proud of their school.

Small classes (no more than 12 students) and close faculty-student relationships are integral to the Crenshaw education.

From a young age, we focus on nurturing the child's capacity for intellectual inquiry, analysis, problem solving, and independence of thought, as well as mastery of basic skills. Debate and discussion, substantial writing and reading, questioning and experimenting are basic modes of learning.

For younger students, the program emphasizes experiential learning and significant individualization of instruction within an integrated curriculum.

At upper grade levels, the program includes both required courses and electives, with honors courses in all disciplines and independent study options.
