    Beyond promoting physical fitness, school athletics teach life skills like discipline, teamwork, and resilience. A greater variety of sports creates more opportunities for students to develop these skills while building peer connections and a sense of belonging. While competitive sports encourage student-athletes to strive for excellence, recreational sports foster inclusion, exploration, and enjoyment.

Qualitative insights

These insights are based on conversations with parents, alumni, and school leadership. Handpicked and curated by our editor, they offer a close look at how the school is experienced and perceived by those who know it best.


Crestwood encourages community engagement and extra-curricular activities, like the annual Project Give Back and the Terry Fox run. My son initiated a fundraiser for wild birds in Ontario, inspired by the school's culture of giving back, which was a proud moment for us.
My twins have different personalities; one is extremely outgoing and social, while the other is more introverted with a smaller group of friends. Yet Crestwood managed to engage both of them fully. Both were extremely active in the school, participating in musicals, sports, eco-committees, and more, which only furthered their confidence and self-esteem. They remember everything positively, from friends to activities to being in clubs, serving as house heads in Grades 5 and 6.
