Crestwood Heights Academy opened its doors in August of 2025, but the thoughts and dreams of this school began years before. The school was founded upon the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education, by a dedicated group of families who desired for this type of education to be offered through middle and high school. We have delighted to watch our students grow in both knowledge and character through a relational model of learning, and are thrilled to continue this important work of learning in community.
Our Mission:
Crestwood Heights Academy is a Christ-centered learning program where students can grow in both knowledge and character.
Crestwood Heights Academy is founded on these principles:
The knowledge of God is the beginning of Wisdom.
Fellowship with God is the basis of true community.
Each student is uniquely created by God as a whole person- physical, intellectual, social and spiritual.
We seek to provide academic enrichment in a relational manner, offering a feast of beautiful, living literature in a close knit community. We hope to instill a lifelong love of learning, and confidence in each student’s identity as a beloved child of God.
Philosophy:
Crestwood Heights Academy follows the education philosophy created by Charlotte Mason, a British educator in the early 1900s. The Charlotte Mason Philosophy believes that all children are created as persons full of ideas and that education should foster a love of learning, help grow life habits, and be attentive to the whole person. Children will learn from “living books” that creates a relationship for all students with what they are learning, the use of narration, and a focus on nature and the arts. Charlotte Mason believed that education was “an atmosphere, a discipline, and a life”.
