Crestwell School is a wonderful school with caring teachers and administration that go above and beyond for their students. Other private schools in the area do not even compare to Crestwell. The small class sizes make a huge difference for the students and the teachers. They get more outdoor time and exercise than most schools and they even have a garden where they grow different vegetables. Crestwell has many fun events through the year including a whole school musical where every child is able to participate. The best part is my children wake up every morning excited to go to school!

This school used to be a wonderful small school, very family oriented .Since a management company took over the school it has steadily gone down hill, There is a huge turnover of staff, the students get used to one teacher then next minuet they have left or been asked to resign.Students who have been at Crestwell from IK are now leaving to go to other schools.Also, they are now using public school curriculum so why pay for what you can get in Public schools

Excellent. Teachers and staff knew the kids names the first day of school when getting them off the car. Very receptive to parents input. School makes efforts for parents to be engaged. In these few 2 1/2 months they organized donuts with daddy, moms were guest story tellers weekly, we attended the school wide race and the halloween parade. Thanksgiving and Holidays recitals coming.

My child attended Crestwell School through elementary and middle school. The school reminds me of what schools used to be like when we had community type schools. You can walk your children into the classrooms, interact with other parents and the administration. Many of the parents are small business owners and are very involved with the school and their children's education. I highly recommend Crestwell School.

The middle school students reached out to our children immediately. The parents and teachers were very thoughtful. Actually the math was more advanced than our last school, We received help and the girls adjusted. Wish we could move the school closer to our home. The girls enjoy their classses and activities. We made a good decision.

First of all the Crestwell School is not for everyone. Especially if you are coming from a huge school. Warning you are not allowed to use your cell phone at lunch or passing or anytime...You will have to talk to class mates. Lunch is catered by Jason's Deli. and Pizza Fusion. They do not have a kitchen. Also if Prada, Coach are important stay away. Do not bribe your kid to go there, it won't work. There is a dress code. One Dad picks up his son in a old pick up truck even though he flies his own plane. *When you are in middle school you will have to mentor little ones twice a month and you have to reflect on your success for the next time. You do learn speaking and presentation skills in your classes, labs, and at events which I use all the time. My friend tried to get in and was waiting over a year because they need more classrooms.*The population at Crestwell is from here, USA and all over the world such as Swiss, Belgium, German, Asian, Dubai, S. America., UK, S.Africa, India, Norway, Spain, Czech, Jordan, Ukraine.....more... Maybe that is why the school is the friendliest school. All of us every morning have to respect living in America in assembly. I attended elementary and middle school at Crestwell. * At Crestwell you matter and are wanted, I was on the Math team, in the school musical, in Chess tournament, STEM, Physics,Basketball, Flag football and Soccer teams. Currently I will be a sophomore at Fort Myers High IB. Program. My Freshmen year was like my eighth grade year at Crestwell. I heard the IB will become more rigorous. While at Crestwell I was the highest score in the state for the Duke University Gifted and went to Orlando to receive the award.*If I return to Fort Myers I would send my kids to Crestwell. It is not like any other school. * The teachers really are great. I like visiting Ms. Hopkins the science teacher. She is amazing and does not let you give up. *Mrs. Butterfield is patient, strong, happy and caring. She sees the best in everyone and tells your parent privately everything. All I can say is thank you, thank you Crestwell!!

My daughter gained confidence in speaking at Crestwell. Recently she has been visiting and sitting in schools in the area and realizes how fortunate she was to have the Crestwell experience. She wants her children to attend.The staff encourage you to do your best. She wants her daughter to have the memories she had such as the camp trail trips, chess, senior sing,math club, labs and the games. Everyone learns to set up events and be a good example for the little ones. She remembers to be happy, work hard, play hard and how families gather for the events. She said she wants her daughter to have time to grow in a safe environment. She felt very prepared for life.

Everyday I am thankful we found Crestwell. Our move was difficult and the school community was very friendly. My son and daughter were accepted and respected. We are impressed with their activities and even in the last week of school the whole school was part of learning fun which included Physics.

We love this school! It is a very caring and intimate environment that fosters both friendships and learning. A very close community that my son feels very safe in. The teachers are involved both during school hours and at other events such as the sports that they take their own time to coach and participate in. When I pick my son up from school and ask how his day was he says "great, just like every other day". I love that he wants to be there.

Crestwell is a great school! The teachers, administration, and principal are very supportive and dedicated to the success of the children. My daughter has been there since kindergarten, she is now in 7th grade. Choosing Crestwell was the best choice we could have made! I just wish they had a high school...

Sending my son to Crestwell was the best decision I have ever made. He has learned so much and made so many loyal friends. The teachers at Crestwell truly care about each aspect of the students lives; they and the staff go above and beyond for each family, making sure to provide only the best in education, leadership, and encouragement. I truly appreciate the tireless efforts of the teachers to continually improve the quality of the academics, the ability they have to meet each child's needs, and the excellent parent-teacher communication. Such conscientiousness I have not found anywhere else. Overall, Crestwell delivers a superior value for money, and I would highly recommend this school to any parent in the area.
