Ways to learn about our school & meet our community
Limited Openings for 2024-2025
The Crowden School has very limited openings for the 2024-2025 school year, and are now accepting applications on a rolling basis. We encourage prospective families to schedule a phone conversation or personalized school tour to learn how, at the Crowden School, music changes everything.
Come get to know us, and see for yourself how music changes everything!
A phone call with our admissions team is a great way to get started. We would love to answer any questions you might have and tell you all about the amazing things our students achieve when they start every day playing music together. Give us a call today at 510.559.6910 ext. 122, or email us at admissions@crowden.org.
We also invite you and your prospective student to come visit our beautiful, historic campus.
You can visit us on Sunday, October 20 for our Fall Open House, where you'll be able to explore the campus, chat with the admissions team and the Head of School, meet teachers and ask questions. You are also invited to attend our “Sneak Peek” event in January, where you can participate in a special opportunity to experience our expert teachers in action, and see how music and academics go hand-in-hand to spark the mind and the imagination.
Perhaps the best way to learn about our unique school is to join us for a tour during the school day on a weekday morning. There is simply no substitute for seeing our engaging, inspiring faculty and joyful students together in the classroom! We offer tours throughout October, November, December, and January.
Crowden partners with Ravenna to provide a convenient admissions experience for prospective families.
