Giving to crms

John and Anne Holden’s vision was to create extraordinary educational experiences at a unique high school. The ordinary in education was rote memorization, rigid classroom practices, and an environment focused overwhelmingly on academic topics with only token opportunities for artistic and emotional growth. CRMS instead sought to create extraordinary learning opportunities for its students that would lead to purposeful, meaningful lives.

Just as it has always been, CRMS students today come from all walks of life—a wide array of cultures, family connections, and perspectives. While at CRMS, they learn to author their future through challenging—and personalized—academic classes, growing not just their intellectual capacity but their critical thinking within a global context. CRMS teachers and advisors show them how to confront their barriers, building resilience and resourcefulness that prepares them to excel not just in college but in life. CRMS students explore a wide range of arts with intentionality and are encouraged to persist in practicing their talents toward unique expression.

Creating an extraordinary education requires constant effort. Faculty and staff must always look for new ways to inspire students who come from different cultures and backgrounds.

Creating an extraordinary education requires compassion. Students come to CRMS with a range of needs. CRMS strives to provide academic and emotional support, mentoring, and guidance through the challenges of modern adolescence.  

And, creating an extraordinary education requires resources. That’s where you come in.
