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.
” The vision of a school that serves underserved children in impoverished communities emerged from that experience.
The Founder, along with many other passionate individuals developed the Crete model.
*Crete’s Mission:* Crete Academy delivers an educational program to students TK-6th grade who are homeless and living in poverty.

*Crete’s Vision:* One day, the cycle of poverty will end and children who once were homeless and living in poverty will be leaders of this world.
*The Crete Educational Model:* The Greek word “Crete” means "to create,” which represents the essence of the school.
Students at Crete will have the tools and resources to create their own futures.
At Crete, we believe in serving the whole-child and meeting the various needs that each individual student has.
Crete teachers and students believe that it is our duty to ensure students' basic needs are met and that they are challenged with an academic program that will develop their math, literacy and critical thinking skills, which will ultimately prepare them for success in college.
The Crete Educational Model focuses on the immediate, basic needs of students and their long-term educational needs.
