Welcome to Crespi Carmelite High School, a premier all-boys Catholic college preparatory institution, founded by the Carmelite Order in 1959. We are honored to have you visit our website and learn more about the Crespi Way.

Since our inception, we have understood that boys and girls learn differently. Crespi continues to work with leading experts in the field of gender-based educational differences. In 2022, we formally partnered with one of the world's foremost experts on the impact of gender on learning, Dr. Michael Gurian, establishing the Gurian Center for Excellence at Crespi, providing us with the science and strategies for maximizing each student’s potential. 

The Crespi commitment extends beyond the four years of high school. Our distinguished alumni mentor current and recently graduated students, ensuring that our tradition of excellence continues for generations to come. The bonds formed at Crespi are strong and enduring, creating a wonderful family environment for our students, parents, faculty, staff, and alumni alike.

Now in our 8th decade, we continue to build men of character and faith unified in brotherhood and formed through a contemporary, Catholic, college preparatory education in the Carmelite tradition of prayer, community, and service. We honor the past as we prepare for the future. We strive to be a dynamic learning community where tradition and innovation prepare Crespi Men for success in all facets of life. 

We are proud of the education and formation Crespi offers, and we invite you to join us in this journey. It is always a great day to be a Celt!
