Mission and Values

Our Mission: Men of Character from Boys of Promise.

Crescent is dedicated to helping boys unleash their potential so that they can make a positive difference in the world.

Character is multifaceted: strong moral character leads to self-awareness and integrity; performance character builds resilience, leadership, and the ability to seize opportunities; and civic character is rooted in serving others and making a difference in society. Men of character leave a lasting impact on those around them.

Crescent is a boys’ school by design. We understand boys so they can understand themselves; we believe in boys so they can believe in themselves, and we care deeply about boys so they can learn to love themselves and love others. By surrounding boys of promise with caring role models who embody our core values and are dedicated to their growth, we unlock their limitless potential in our ever-changing world.

Respect

Honour the dignity of others. We value the unique life experience that each person brings, and we strive to be a community where every person feels welcome and has a sense of belonging. The principle of respect involves treating every individual with dignity, so they will feel known and valued.
Responsibility

Take accountability for our attitudes, words, and actions. We value taking ownership of our actions and acknowledge our power to choose what we think, say, and do. The principle of responsibility involves being proactive and embracing this commitment to oneself, others, and the world.
Honesty

Tell the truth even when it is not easy. We value being true to ourselves, truthful with others, and acting ethically. The principle of honesty involves accurately representing ourselves, our intentions, and our commitments publicly and privately.
Compassion

Support and care for others. We value treating everybody, without exception, as they wish to be treated. The principle of compassion lies in the concern for the suffering or misfortune of others with a strong motivation to help.
