Crestmont School is a unique cooperative K-5 elementary school located in the scenic hills of Richmond, California. It was founded in 1969 with the goal of creating an environment that would encourage curiosity, critical thinking, community spirit and academic excellence for children of all backgrounds.

“I have never seen a more intelligent, caring, involved group of parents. Or a smarter or stronger group of teachers, who really know how to teach the important, life-affirming things. And there are no administrators to add to the budget, or make unnecessary procedures for these folks to go through, in pursuing the goal of a superb, hands-on, creative and experiential education for the kids.”
— 2005-2006 kindergarten parent
