The mission of Crestview School, in partnership with the Vandenberg Air Force Base community and Lompoc Unified School District, is to provide a positive learning environment which encourages the development of the whole child. We believe every child comes into the world with gifts waiting to be discovered and nourished. It is our goal, as both parents and educators, to help each child find and develop these gifts. In doing so, the children will come to appreciate and value themselves, others, and the world in which we live.
