Serving students in grades 7 through 12, The Crefeld School's mission is to graduate self-aware, empathetic, lifelong learners, who possess an appreciation for diverse perspectives, their role in society, and their ability to act as agents of change. Located in Chestnut Hill, Crefeld is a gender inclusive school, providing an intentionally different college preparatory program to help students become their best selves.

Crefeld is guided by five values. Everyone at Crefeld is a member of the community. Embracing and adhering to a trust-based system is essential to our functioning in everything we do. We are committed to social justice because we believe it is our responsibility to do what we can to eliminate bias based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, political affiliation, national origin, or disability. Crefeld is committed to building a culture that respects and embraces diversity, inclusion, and equity, we believe that these values are critical for advancing knowledge, sparking innovation, and creating sustainable communities. We choose to educate students with a strength-based approach. At Crefeld, we celebrate what students do well every day and help develop compensation strategies for areas of growth. And finally, we embrace individuality. Through our advisory system, each student is recognized as an individual and has a well-supported, designated advocate monitoring their education at Crefeld.
