This is one of the few schools out there which actually encourages creativity. They even have a glass furnace for glass-blowing!
I am a current student at this school. My experience with the school has been great. I have wonderful teachers and the electives a student can take are amazing. I have one teacher who I really connected with and she helps me with my poetry. When I won a contest with one of my poems she came to the award presentation. That's the relationship students have with teachers at Crefeld, they really become part of a wonderful support system. With the exception of two teachers all the teachers whose classes I've taken here are great! They are teachers but they are also people who tell you about their lives and their interests and who are always happy to here about yours. I honestly can't express in this review what a great place Crefeld is. If you come here and met the teachers you will see that the negative reviews are wrong. However please make sure that Crefeld is the right place for you. If it's not the right place for you then don't come, because Crefeld is only wonderful when it is the right school for you.
This school has been profoundly disappointing. I was attracted to the school by their wonderful admissions director and by the curriculum. Unfortunately, in many cases, they don't have the resources to deliver. My child absolutely hates it, and after dealing with incompetent and self-righteous teachers and administrators, I can understand why.
Place should be shut down. The reviews showing glory to the school were written by the administration. Save your children and do not consider sending them here.
We enrolled our son here this year. He is doing very well. He seems to have more self confidence. He loves going to the Crefeld School.
Crefeld works with each child to ensure that they achieve to their true potential.they offer classes that aren't found in other schools like glass blowing and forensic science.they truly nurture the whole child.
What a fantastic place! My son transfered to Crefeld in 11th grade from a large Friends school. He LOVED Crefld and all of the teachers and administrators. I cannot thank them enough for preparing him for college and for restoring his self-confidence after two hard years in his former school!
Horrible place. If you love your child and want them to succeed do not send them here. It is a terrible place run by selfish ignorant people who care more about themselves than the students.
