About
Meet our Headmaster
We live in a society that is volatile, complex, and in a constant state of flux.
There has never been a greater need for men of character who can step-up and positively influence our world. It is why I am sincerely thankful that you are considering Crescent School for your son.
Crescent's commitment to build Men of Character from Boys of Promise is a tradition that runs deep. For over a century, we have been dedicated to helping boys learn about who they are, how they can lead and begin to discover the legacy they can leave behind.
We are a school where character development is a responsibility that rests with every member of our community. It is a community that encourages our boys to expand their perspectives, be challenged in their beliefs, learn from each other and actively mature and grow.
Our teachers model good character each day and build strong relationships with their students, making sure that each of them feels known, cared for and has a sense of belonging. And we infuse character education into everything we do to ensure our students have the skills they need to thrive as men of character.
Lasting friendships and strong bonds are also an inherent part of the Crescent School experience. I can assure you that your son will graduate with an alumni brotherhood that will be with him for life and share his commitment to building a better world and creating a better society.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our campus and our community.
