Crescent School is an independent day school for boys in Grades 3 to 12, located in Toronto, Canada. Crescent has an international reputation as a leader in boys’ education. Our mission, Men of Character from Boys of Promise, recognizes that boys with curious minds and open hearts have the capacity to learn, lead and leave a legacy. Our faculty and staff are dedicated professionals who are committed to educational excellence and the support of our students.
Accredited by the Ontario Ministry of Education and Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS), our rigorous curriculum is fostered through relationships with the very best teachers and mentors. We are fundamentally committed to providing care, empowerment, clear boundaries and high expectations, and effective ways for boys to use their time well. In addition, we seek to develop boys’ commitment to learning, positive values, social competencies, and personal identity. Our boys thrive because they are known and understood.
Our teachers and staff are part of a rich tradition in which energy, enthusiasm, and engagement complement the challenges and complexities of boys’ growth and development. They are deeply committed to modelling Crescent's core values of respect, responsibility, honesty, and compassion. They strive for mastery in their craft and consistently hone their approaches that shape, guide, and support boys’ development.
Our expertise in boys’ education is supported by superb facilities and expressed through a robust academic and co-curricular program, including the arts, athletics, business, outreach and robotics. As well, the broader community of alumni and parents takes great pride in Crescent. They are committed to the school's continual progress.
At Crescent School, we know that relationships are the keystone of learning - everything we do assures our boys they are valued and valuable.
