What’s it really like to be a Crowden student?
Join us for an interactive morning centered on a live Student Panel with current students in grades 4–8, moderated by Head of School Dan Meyers. Hear firsthand how students learn, grow, and experience Crowden’s music-centered education. The program includes brief remarks from school leadership, an alum parent reflection, and a short campus tour for families who have not yet visited.
Crowden's tour gave us everything we needed to make a decision about this wonderful school.

We visited three schools. Crowden's tour was the only one that truly felt like a special community.
