CRETE ACADEMY

Crete Academy was founded by a group of individuals passionate about creating opportunities for children living in poverty. The vision for the school developed from the Founder’s life-changing experience on Skid Row thirteen years ago. The founder recalls watching a disconnected mother watch her daughter crawl through the filthy streets of the city. As she observed the child crawling, she thought, “Something has to change for children in these circumstances.”
From that experience emerged the vision of a school serving underserved children in impoverished communities. The Founder, along with many other passionate individuals, developed the Crete model.
