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 is the best school ever because everybody in Crescent is really nice. When I moved to Crescent from my old school I felt happy because my classmates are really nice, bright, and passionate. The teachers are also very energetic. They do not only care about our studies but they also care about our health and emotions. Crescent is like one big family!
We have a wonderful cafeteria in Crescent. The food is really yummy and you don't even need to bring in your own lunch. We always get a hot and fresh lunch from our cafeteria. In the cafeteria they have different kinds of food. Therefore you can design your individual lunch – that's also my mom's favorite part.
Crescent school provides a lot of activities that lets you choose. Arts, sports, robotics, music, and leadership. My favourite part are sports and robotics. This year I joined the soccer team , basketball team and intramurals. I made a lot of friends and learnt how to communicate with my teammates. Also, I know how to lead my team to win, or if we lose I make sure we always learn something. In robotic class I learn creative skills to build a robot.
Crescent is also very beautiful. We have beautiful building, clean, classrooms and organized library. We also have a huge soccer field and a running track. Inside the field is where the soccer field is in the corner we have a baseball court. Crescent also has a basketball court and a four-square court.
In conclusion, Crescent is the best school ever! I feel very lucky that I get to go to such a wonderful. I'm sure all of you can agree.
