  • Modelling Character

    Each day our staff model what it looks like to lead a values-based life. Character development is infused through relational teaching, responsibilities, leadership, mentoring and an innovative curriculum designed to keep boys engaged.

    Our students thrive and grow guided by adults who ensure each student feels known, cared for and recognized as an individual.

  • A Breadth of Experience

    Our faculty bring real-world experiences into every classroom, an enthusiasm for their subjects and a broad understanding of the world. Many of our teachers have taught at colleges, universities or schools around the world and share their expertise with our boys.

    Since 2014, four of our teachers have received Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence.

    The school business operations are supported by staff who bring diverse skills, knowledge and experience to their jobs. Administrative colleagues are experts in their fields; they are accountants, receptionists, fundraisers, cleaners and computer whizzes. Many of our administrative staff are involved in the boys’ activities as mentors, coaches, or as staff supervisors on trips.

  • Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging

    Crescent School strives to be a place where all members of our community feel they belong. This is achieved by living our core values of respect, responsibility, honesty and compassion.

    We know that our learning community is enhanced by human differences — the diverse racial, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds of our students, faculty, staff, parents and alumni. Over the past several years, we have actively pursued partnerships, formed student and staff alliances, and launched initiatives designed to make Crescent a more inclusive community. We are proud of the strides that we have made, yet we know that there is always more work to be done.

    You can read about the important work that Crescent is doing to train and educate our students and staff on our Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging webpages.

    Employment at Crescent means working with the best people – professionally and personally. I am given the autonomy to do my job. And I am given the resources to facilitate ongoing professional development.

    I am convinced that there is no better place to teach – anywhere – than Crescent School.

  • Natalie Vera, Assistant Head of the Upper School and Director of the Summer Academic Program

    Employee since 2005
    The minute I started working at Crescent, it felt like home. From day one, the staff and the community made me feel welcome. I feel supported and safe. I know I can lean on my colleagues for support and they can do the same with me. I look around at the Crescent community and I see I am surrounded by inspiring professionals and compassionate teachers and learners. Most importantly, I look around and I see family and friends. I know I am in the perfect place. It’s home!

  • Roman Arendacz, Handyman

    Employee since 1989
    Working as a handyman at Crescent was my first job when I came to Canada from Poland. I was still single and Crescent was like a family to me. I spent a lot of my time here and my colleagues became friends. Crescent is part of my life here in Canada. I have seen lots of changes since I started working here in 1989; Three Headmasters and several new buildings. I find working with staff a pleasure and they always ask me to do things in a pleasant way. I can tell they like me too; they are always asking about me and my family. Thank you for the opportunity to work here.

  • Trish Cislak, Head of Libraries and Director of Research, Crescent Centre of Boys' Education

    Employee since 2010
    Crescent has allowed me to work with and learn from incredible colleagues. Together, we get an opportunity to try new pedagogies, experience success and failure, and then create even better opportunities for the boys. The Libraries of Crescent are designed to enhance the learning environment for the boys. I am so proud to be impacting the Crescent experience in so many ways!
