Cranbrook Kingswood

We believe that in today’s competitive environment, preparation for college should be comprehensive and challenging. Cranbrook offers a uniquely comprehensive college-preparatory education. Here is the superb teaching and learning environment that cherishes and challenges the individual, that encourages creative, critical and independent thinking, and that offers the broadest possible range of study, artistic and athletic options.

Small class sizes coupled with attentive, committed faculty provide students with personal attention and mentoring. Extracurricular activities, from sports to clubs to student government, help young people find new interests and expand their horizons, underscoring Cranbrook’s belief in educating the whole child.
