Early Childhood

We believe a child's first school experience should not only be educational, but exciting and nurturing as well – which is why our teachers create programs to spark students' imagination and extend their classrooms into the world beyond. Full and Half-Day options available, and before-school care.

Middle School

No other three-year period in a young child’s life contains more growth—of mind, of body, of social awareness, and of character—than the middle school years. At Cranbrook Schools, we welcome and embrace this period of change by providing the ideal situation: a single-gender educational setting for boys and girls.

Upper School

"College prep is so much more than what goes on in the classroom. At Cranbrook, my children learned to manage their free time, advocate for themselves, and make decisions, qualities
that have been key to their college success." -

"From the beginning, we wanted to give her every opportunity to realize her potential. But we had never considered Cranbrook Schools. The decision to visit campus that fall was mostly about checking it off our list. What we discovered were parents who shared our priorities; students with poise, compassion, and a love of learning; teachers with a deep commitment to their students. At the end of the visit, our typically reserved daughter didn’t want to leave - and that’s when we knew.

With each passing year we are more convinced that this has been the most important investment we could ever have made for our child. Her experience has been life changing. Whatever she chooses to become, we know that her time at Cranbrook will have helped prepare her to create her own opportunities, and to realize her full potential for the rest of her life."
