The Crenshaw School is committed to providing solutions to the educational challenges facing students whose lifestyles or careers are incompatible with traditional classrooms and methods.

The Private Instruction Division is designed to meet the needs of students balancing their education with careers in the performing arts or athletics as well as students who prefer a more personalized and flexible education at home, at school, or while traveling. The Crenshaw School has been providing a quality alternative to a traditional school environment in on-location settings for over 10 years.

The Private Instruction Division was created with the belief that:
All students should receive a high quality education administered by caring and competent teachers. Families should not have to choose between allowing their children to pursue personal or professional aspirations and providing an opportunity for academic achievement.

All students should have access to a course of study that will prepare them for the colleges of their choice. Just as Plato and George Washington were schooled by private tutors, we provide teachers who educate students one-on-one in their home, workplace or wherever they may require it. This model of education outside the traditional classroom is ideal for families with various lifestyles or with unique situations such as:

• Children of celebrities
• Children of high profile executives
• Parents who are away from home much of the time and want their children with them
• Parents who want a customized educational curriculum for their children
• Professional children who are young entrepreneurs or are pursuing or have careers in entertainment and/or sports

For the Private Instruction Division, Crenshaw hires teachers to match the student’s educational needs and learning style. We work around the family’s schedule providing educational arrangements for finite time periods or on an ongoing basis; we offer complete flexibility in scheduling. In essence, school travels to and with the student rather than the other way around. The educational program provides targeted academic attention with a specific focus on the needs of that one child, as opposed to traditional school systems where teachers must adapt their curriculum for an entire classroom of children with differing learning styles.
