The Advanced Placement (AP) Program offers students the opportunity to engage in university-level academic work while still in high school. AP courses are designed by university professors and experienced educators to mirror first-year university curriculum, helping students build advanced skills in research, critical thinking, analysis, and time management. Students write standardized AP exams each spring, and high scores can lead to university credit or advanced standing in postsecondary programs across North America and beyond. Crestwood Preparatory College values AP because it challenges students academically, builds confidence in their readiness for university, and provides globally recognized credentials that open doors to competitive programs worldwide.

The Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française (DELF) is an internationally recognized certification issued by the French Ministry of Education that verifies a learner’s proficiency in French across reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Structured across six CEFR language levels (A1–C2), DELF enables students to earn a lifetime credential that can support future exchange, work, and postsecondary opportunities in French-speaking institutions around the world. Crestwood Preparatory College provides DELF because we believe language learning develops cultural fluency, global awareness, and communication skills that empower students to engage confidently in an increasingly interconnected world.

HarvardX is Harvard University’s online academic extension platform, offering access to university-designed courses across a wide range of disciplines. Through edX, Crestwood students can explore subjects such as leadership, data science, humanities, and global studies at a self-directed pace, with the option to pursue official certificates. Crestwood Preparatory College offers HarvardX opportunities because we believe students should be able to explore interests beyond the traditional classroom, develop intellectual independence, and experience what university-level expectations feel like before graduation.

Academic co-curriculars such as DECA, Reach for the Top, and our competitive Robotics Team provide students with meaningful ways to apply their learning beyond the classroom. DECA develops entrepreneurial thinking, professional communication, and business strategy through case competitions. Reach for the Top builds broad knowledge, recall speed, and teamwork in a quiz-based format. Robotics challenges students in engineering, coding, design, and problem-solving on an international stage. Crestwood values these programs because they fuel curiosity, leadership, innovation, and real-world skill development — helping students discover strengths and passions that formal coursework alone cannot reveal.
