School review information
Crescent Heights Academy (formerly Fraser Valley School) is a premier independent institution that justifies its elite 10/10 rating through a blend of rigorous IB academics and a supportive, character-focused community. It is a school in transition toward an even brighter future, offering families the prestige of a top-ranked education today with the promise of world-class facilities by 2027.
Editorial review summary
Parents describe the school as a warm, inclusive, and academically rigorous environment where 'teachers genuinely care.' Reviews highlight the strong sense of community and the benefits of small class sizes, which allow for personalized attention. The merger to form Crescent Heights Academy has been well-received, with excitement about the future campus. However, the admissions process is noted as 'highly competitive' with entrance exams and interviews required. Some parents mention the significant financial commitment, including a 'Campus Capital' deposit, and a few noted that current athletic facilities are limited compared to larger public schools, though this is expected to improve with the new 2027 campus.
