Crossroads School, Inc. was founded in 1977 by Carol Garnett, a Masters Level Special Education teacher. After twenty-three years of service, Ms. Garnett retired and Dr. Gila Arnoni, an
alumni parent, stepped in as the Head of School. Motivated by her wish to meet the needs of as many students as possible, in 2004 Dr. Arnoni applied for and was granted a 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit designation and created a Board of Directors. Under her leadership, the school thrived, with a steady increase in enrollment, the purchase of additional property and the
development of a Twice Exceptional Program and High School. Dr. Arnoni retired in 2018.
Crossroads School continues to uphold the belief of our founders; students with learning differences will flourish when provided with personalized curriculum, continuous encouragement, a
low teacher to student ratio, flexibility, a rewards system and creative teaching methods. Over 40 years, the school has built an excellent reputation for the quality of its teaching, the
success of its students and the friendly and supportive atmosphere of its community. Today, Crossroads is a recognized leader in the specialized education of students with learning
differences.
