Crossroads School

Crossroads School is a progressive independent school model that emphasizes small classes, arts integration, and student voice, often using projects instead of traditional worksheets as the backbone of learning. While not a homeschool curriculum, its approach offers a concrete example of what project-based, relationship-centered education can look like in practice. Parents researching alternatives to conventional schooling—whether microschools, co-ops, or home-based hybrids—can draw inspiration from Crossroads-style schedules, advisory systems, and exhibitions of learning. Tuition at schools like this is significant, but studying their models can be a valuable, no-cost way to spark ideas for your own program.
