One of the top independent schools for boys in Canada, Crescent School spans 37 acres in midtown Toronto. Now in our second century, we provide rich and diverse experiences and opportunities for boys in Grades 3–12 to learn, grow and thrive. Character has always been at the centre of a Crescent education supporting our mission, Men of Character from Boys of Promise.
Since 1913, Crescent School’s focus has been on character development. It is part of our DNA and involves a deep, uncompromising commitment to three essential areas we believe bring out the best in boys: relational learning, mentoring and character-in-action. A school that truly understands what makes boys tick, Crescent is here to meet your son’s development needs every step of the way.
Finding the right school for your son is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Thank you for considering Crescent School. We invite you to apply through our online application form. Learn more about us by attending an Open House or taking a virtual tour. We look forward to welcoming you to our campus.
A Crescent education is exciting, fulfilling and broad. Our curriculum is taught by highly motivated, supportive teachers who understand that establishing a relationship with your son unlocks the door to learning and engages him in his character development. Your son will be celebrated for both his work and his work ethic as we guide him academically and emotionally on his journey to becoming a Man of Character.
Character-in-Action programs are Crescent's co-curricular activities that provide boys with ample opportunities to develop character outside the classroom. Through clubs and teams in the arts, business, robotics and athletics, your son will discover new interests and build his leadership skills. And our outreach programs will allow him to gain compassion for others both in our community and abroad.
The generosity of our Crescent community provides vital support for our campus development, signature academic and co-curricular programs, and Student Financial Assistance. Contributions, no matter what their size, allow us to deliver the best possible education for our boys and help ensure that we continue to fulfill our mission: Men of Character from Boys of Promise.
Crescent School doesn’t slow down when regular classes are out. We offer a Summer Academic Program available to all high school students, as well as summer camps for children 4 to 13 years old. Our Successful Start program is a special academic prep program exclusively available to Crescent students.
Employment at Crescent School is an opportunity to build a rewarding career and belong to a dynamic community where all are respected for their contributions. Our employees share a commitment to excellence that has made us one of the top schools for boys in the world. An equal-opportunity employer, we offer competitive compensation and benefits and believe strongly in workplace accessibility.
Crescent's Lower and Middle School Team 610 robotics teams are celebrating personal bests and an Honourable Mention after the VEX IQ provincial championship in Brampton on March 2, 2019.
A record number of eight of Crescent’s 10 Lower and Middle School robotics teams qualified for the provincial tournament. Competing against 66 teams from schools and clubs across Ontario, the Team 610 members earned some notable achievements:
Team 610G - Honorable Mention for the Judges Award
Team 610E - 7th in Ontario for Teamwork
Team 610C - 9th in Ontario for Teamwork
"The dedication of our boys has been incredible,” says Middle School faculty member and robotics coach Katharine Hancock. “Although we are not moving on to the Worlds, we are so proud of the growth we witnessed in our boys in team driving, problem-solving, grit and teamwork.”
At the tournament, teams compete in pairs to score points by using their robots to complete tasks. The tasks include stacking coloured hubs, removing hubs from a structure, and parking or hanging on a bar. Teams also compete in a robot skills challenge, where one robot tries to score as many points as possible.
Crescent’s Team 610 members reached the provincials after success at the VEX IQ tournament in Aurora on February 2. At that tournament, Crescent’s Team 610E was named the tournament’s Teamwork Champions, thanks in part to the consistently exceptional driving skills of their team members. And, along with their partners from the Discobots team, Team 610E was the top-scoring team in all of Canada at the time.
