Crossroads School (Santa Monica, California)
Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences is a private, K-12 independent, college preparatory school in Santa Monica, California, United States. The school is a member of the prestigious G20 Schools Group, including schools such as Deerfield Academy (Massachusetts), Phillips Exeter Academy (New Hampshire), Phillips Academy Andover (Massachusetts), the Hotchkiss School (Connecticut) and the Lawrenceville School (New Jersey). The Crossroads School has a rivalry with the nearby Brentwood School.
==History==
The school was founded in 1971 as a secular institution affiliated with St. Augustine By-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Santa Monica.〔 Although the founders, and many of the school's original students, came from the former St. Augustine By-the-Sea Episcopal Day School in Santa Monica, Crossroads School has always been a secular institution. Crossroads started with three rooms in a Baptist church offering grades seven and eight, and an initial enrollment of just over 30 students. The name Crossroads was suggested by Robert Frost’s poem, The Road Not Taken,” in which Frost writes:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.〔()〕
As St. Augustine's grew to junior and senior high school, the founders started Crossroads with a separate board of directors and separate campus, which eventually merged in the 1980s under the name Crossroads.
