this our second year at Cross Creek and we couldn't be happier! We drive 15 minutes each way twice per day because this school is worth it! This school truly takes a community approach to education and the benefits are evident. In less tan two years I have seen an amazing amount of growth in my child academically and socially. I can not wait until my younger child is old enough to attend Cross Creek, too.

This is an excellent school overall. My children are in 3rd and 5th grade and have been attending since kindergarten. They are thriving and excelling, but its a lot of work on their part and a commitment on my husband and I as involved parents. The principal and staff have set the academic bar high and the students achieve. The impetus for a child's success here is a partnership between the student, staff, and parents. What makes this school a model is the level of caring shown by all parties. The level of parental involvement is outstanding, the accessibility of the school staff and administration is unparalleled, and the resulting student academic excellence is evident in the test scores. The old adage 'It takes a village to raise a child,' applies. My daughter said it best, 'I love Cross Creek, it's my home.'

I think this is a fantastic school. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The teachers are excellent and really care about the children. The principal and assistant principal are both very accessible to both the students and parents. It is evident that they both truly enjoy what they do and that they want to see the students succeed, not just in the classroom but in all aspects of their lives.

My daughter will be in 2nd grade this year. We are so excited to go back to school this fall. It's like a second family. We miss everyone so much over the summer. It is nice to know that when you send your child to Cross Creek, not only are they held to academic excellence, but they are loved and nurtured by there dedicated staff and devoted loving parents. I am blessed to be able to send My children to Cross Creek.

Great staff + great parents = great students. Couldn't be happier. We have three kids here and have the ability to choose from a top rated public school or private Christian schools and chose Cross Creek.

Our son is in Fantastic 5's and it is an absolutely wonderful program! My husband and I are so excited to see all of the progress our child has made even in the first couple of months of school. The teachers and staff are phenomenal! At our first parent teacher conference I was amazed to hear about the reasoning behind all the cute songs and stories our son is learning! I never realized how in depth the thought process behind the activities the teachers are doing with the kids. The teachers and staff are very accessable and helpful. They give you the ability to be as involved as you want to be. I am SO HAPPY I chose Cross Creek for my child!

I have 2 of my 4 children in this school. The oldest is starting her 6th year at the school. Youngest 2 not yet school age but will definately be enrolled when they are. We are very happy with the way they are challenged at Cross Creek and with the level of involvement parents are encouraged and allowed to have on just about every level.
