Crossroads Charter Schools

Crossroads Academy of Kansas City is a tuition-free charter school located in Downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Our mission is to prepare students to excel in high school by providing an academically rigorous K-8 education. It is our vision to be the premier urban school serving Kansas City's youth and a destination for other educators seeking inspiration and best practices. We opened in 2012 with 190 students in grades K-5 and at full capacity will serve 422 students in grades K-8. Graduates of Crossroads Academy will be scholarly, culturally literate and service- oriented individuals who will pursue their dreams relentlessly and have a positive impact on their family, their community and the world. Immersed in the civic, artistic, financial and historic heart of Kansas City, Crossroads Academy embraces the exceptional learning opportunities of our urban setting. Our curriculum is aligned with the Missouri Learning Standards and grounded in the Framework for 21st Century Learning. Our highly-qualified teachers establish the expectations, structure, accountability and creative environment necessary for truly exceptional learning. As an independent charter school, Crossroads Academy is accessible to any family living within the KCMO School District. Among these families, those living or working within the Greater Downtown Area (State Line to Prospect, the Missouri River to 39th Street) receive priority in our admissions lottery. All parents who are personally committed to high-expectations and want their child to learn in an academically rigorous environment are encouraged to apply.
