One of the top independent schools for boys in Canada, Crescent School spans 30 acres in midtown Toronto. Now in our second century, we provide rich and diverse experiences and opportunities for boys in Grades 1–12 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, booking a small group tour, or exploring our campus virtually.
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.
The Wellbeing and Belonging Collaborative Fund was established in August 2026 by four founding schools—The Bishop Strachan School, Crescent School, Havergal College and Royal St. George's College—to advance student wellbeing as a foundational element of education.
Supported by an initial gift from The Sorbara Family, the Wellbeing and Belonging Collaborative Fund facilitates a non-competitive partnership where schools share practices, candid insights, and effective strategies to help young people flourish. While honouring each school’s unique culture, the fund promotes continuous improvement in building inclusive “cultures of care” that support both students and the adults who guide them.
The $250,000 CDN gift pledged by the Sorbara Family to Crescent School specifically is structured as an open vehicle, welcoming additional donations from individuals and organizations that support its mandate. The Foundation is willing to accept endowed charitable contributions deposited with it for the specified purpose and to administer the same on behalf of the School and in accordance with the terms of the fund Agreement.
