Discover the many ways Crossroads helps students succeed, grow, and build confidence — inside and outside school walls.
Choosing a school is about more than just classes and grades. Families want a place where kids feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow in every way. At Crossroads Charter Schools in Kansas City, we understand that learning happens everywhere — not just inside a classroom.
Here’s how Crossroads goes beyond traditional teaching to support students and their families.
1. Social-Emotional Learning: Building Strong Hearts
At Crossroads, we know that helping kids manage their feelings and build strong relationships is just as important as reading and math. Social-emotional learning (SEL) teaches students how to understand themselves, control their emotions, and solve problems peacefully.
Our teachers create a safe space where students feel heard and valued. When kids feel secure and understood, they can focus better, work harder, and enjoy learning more.
2. After-School Programs That Spark Passion
Learning doesn’t stop when the bell rings — and neither does growth. At Crossroads, our after-school clubs, sports, and enrichment opportunities give students space to explore what lights them up. Whether it’s dribbling a basketball, rehearsing a play, or coding their first game, our programs are where passions come to life.
We believe athletics aren’t just about winning — they’re about building character, teamwork, and confidence. That’s why we offer organized sports across all grade levels, from recreational leagues in K–6 to competitive teams in middle and high school. Students from our Central Street and Quality Hill campuses play side-by-side, building unity across schools and across the city. Soccer, basketball, track, baseball, volleyball, cheer, drone racing — if there’s a spark, we help it grow.
Because strong kids aren’t just made in classrooms.
They’re shaped on courts, in studios, and with every after-school “I did it!”
3. Family Engagement That Makes a Difference
We believe families are essential partners in education. Crossroads works hard to keep families involved through regular updates, family nights, and community events. This includes involvement from our Parent Teacher Organization at each campus. We also offer resources and support to help families navigate challenges and celebrate successes.
When families and schools work together, students do better in school and life. At Crossroads, we make sure every family feels welcomed and empowered.
4. Support Services That Meet Every Need
Sometimes students need extra help — whether it’s tutoring, counseling, or health services. Crossroads provides a range of support to make sure every child has what they need to succeed.
Our staff works closely with families to identify challenges and create plans that help students stay on track, build skills, and feel confident.
5. Community Partnerships That Open Doors
Being part of Kansas City means connecting students with the community. Crossroads partners with local businesses, nonprofits, and cultural organizations to give students real-world experiences.
These partnerships bring mentors, internships, and learning opportunities right into our students’ hands, helping them prepare for bright futures.
Why This Matters for Kansas City Families
Families in Kansas City want schools that understand their unique needs and help their children thrive — academically, socially, and emotionally. Crossroads Charter Schools stand out because we focus on the whole child, in and out of the classroom.
We believe every student deserves a chance to succeed and belong. That’s why we build strong partnerships with families and the community, and offer programs that inspire growth, confidence, and joy.
