Financial Assistance:	While Crestview Preparatory School has made every effort to maintain a reasonable, affordable tuition, we recognize that the cost of an independent school education is a sizeable investment in your child’s future which may be a financial hardship for some families. Because of this, the school commits a portion of the annual budget to financial aid, or tuition assistance, for families with a demonstrated financial need. Such need is defined as the difference between the school’s tuition and what the family can reasonably contribute. All Crestview’s financial aid is strictly need-based. We do not offer loans or scholarships based on merit.
Governance:	13-member Board of Trustees

History:	Crestview Preparatory School had a very humble, almost nomadic beginning as an extension of a preschool originally established in Glendale, California. The preschool grew in numbers and grade levels, requiring new larger quarters, moving through three locations. Eventually, in 1986, the elementary grades incorporated separately from the original preschool as a non-profit school with a new name, Crestview Preparatory School. Under the careful guidance of founding head, Marge Hanna, the school took up residence in La Canada. In 1988, one final move was made to the current location. Over the years, the culture and mission of Crestview Preparatory School have remained consistently focused on an environment that offers an outstanding education while creating an environment where everyone is known and kids can be kids.
