7 Habits in Action:

Stephen R. Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is put into action each and every day at Crestwood School. The 7 Habits provide a foundation for all of the work that we do as we interact with our students, parents and staff each day.

The 7 Habits guide our school community to embody principled centered living, to grow our individual leadership skills and to work in synergy with one another.

Crestwood School has been recognized as the very first 7 Habits Leader in Me school in all of Canada and has been given the distinction of being a Lighthouse Leadership School by Franklin Covey for the outstanding work with the 7 Habits within a school community.
