Crescent Blogs

A number of years ago while visiting a colleague at a peer school abroad, we found ourselves discussing the emerging importance of boys’ well-being as a precondition to their engagement and performance at school. We mused about our own experiences as emerging young men. We could not recall a single conversation from our school days about our mental or emotional wellness.

This year, Crescent’s Centre for Boys’ Education (CCBE) took on a new challenge: introducing student teachers to an independent school environment. We’ve developed relationships with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) and the Schulich School of Education at Nipissing University and plan to create a partnership with one more faculty of education.

As I begin teaching each day, I find joy in observing the interconnectedness of modern and classical architecture at Crescent School. The Manor House, showcasing Beaux-Arts style with smooth-cut limestone and a blend of English and French Renaissance elements, welcomes students daily.
