A second campus in Southwest Florida's fastest-growing family corridor

Crestwell School has served Lee County families for 32 years: 330 students, an experiential learning-by-doing program, and small class sizes. We are pursuing a purpose-built campus on 10 acres at Corkscrew Road & Burgundy Farms Road in Estero, where families are arriving faster than anyone is building schools for them.

THE THESIS

Families are arriving on the East Corkscrew corridor faster than anyone is building schools for them, and the district's own plan adds no K-8 capacity. Nearly one in five families here already pays for private education, driving 30-40+ minutes to reach it, and preschool capture runs 62% before collapsing at kindergarten when the commute begins. Crestwell brings a 32-year operating record, a proven program, and a campus placed exactly where the drive ends.

Two campuses that split the county, not the customer base: Fort Myers anchors the mature northwest; Estero owns the southeast growth corridor.
