Crescent School | Required texts for Crescent summer courses

About Us

One of the top independent schools for boys in Canada, Crescent School spans 30 lush rolling 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.

Why Crescent

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.

How to Apply

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. Or, learn more about us by exploring our website or attending an Open House. We look forward to providing your Boy of Promise with the support he needs to become a courageous Man of Character.

Academics

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 work ethic and guided academically and emotionally on his journey to becoming a Man of Character.

Character-In-Action

Character-in-Action programs are our School’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.

Support Crescent

The generosity of our parents, grandparents, faculty/staff, students, alumni and friends provides vital support for our new facilities, signature academic programs and Student Financial Aid. Contributions, no matter what their size, allow us to deliver the best possible education for our boys – and help ensure that we are able to continue to fulfil our mission, Men of Character from Boys of Promise.

Camps & Summer

Crescent School doesn’t slow down when regular classes are out. Our Summer Academic Program helps high school students "reach ahead" to accelerate learning or lighten next year’s course load. For boys and girls ages 8 to 18, our March Break and Summer Camps offer the best of Crescent in a day camp setting, with programs in robotics, athletics, business, leadership, the arts and more.
