    • Submitting the other components of the application
    Please note that for the 2023-2024 admission season, we will not require nor accept admission testing. For more on our testing policy, please click here.
     
    We also encourage you to take the time to explore our website and learn more about our Middle School and Upper School academic programs, as well as our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programming. We also hope you will get to know our Middle School and Upper School students - they can’t wait to hear from you!

      Crystal is committed to being a diverse and inclusive community. Such a community values and celebrates individual differences and ensures that each individual's unique background and perspective can inform and enrich the educational experience for all. In seeking to create and sustain a community that reflects the diversity of the Bay Area, we provide a dynamic learning environment and strive to prepare students for the world in which they live. Our curriculum exposes students to myriad viewpoints and experiences that challenge and broaden their perspectives. Crystal believes that students, parents, faculty, staff, administration and trustees with inclusive perspectives and attitudes make our school a place of respect and compassion in which all members thrive and feel supported.
