Parent Testimonials

"It's hard to explain my love of The Croft School because they're unlike any school or business I've ever known. I could gush all day and offer example after example of times I knew I made the right decision for our son. I will say three things: 1. The level of commitment, communication, and dedication exemplified by the team at the Croft School has been beyond anything we've ever known. I am regularly astounded by their thoughtfulness, level of genuine interest and concern, and willingness to adapt and learn with each student and family. 2. The community that has been built, the parent engagement, and overall culture of the school is unlike one you will ever find. Singing, laughing, huge smiles, skipping to school, and friendly greetings on a daily basis fills the space and our hearts. Everyone is deeply invested in the overall happiness and health of each child. The parents know all the kiddos, and most of the grandparents, and a warm sense of community is an intentional effort that Croft works hard to achieve. 3. I don't know any other parents that have more confidence in their school to provide a safe environment for their children during a pandemic. There's so much uncertainty about life right now, but the one thing I am certain about, is if The Croft School is open they will be the safest, most informed, openly communicative, clean, and healthy place to send a student. I have full faith that Scott and his team always have the child's best interest at heart, deep at heart at all times, and they will do everything in their power to provide the best possible experience for our precious pumpkins."

- Jesse, Croft Providence mother

“We are very happy with The Croft School. The space is beautiful. The Head of School and all of the teachers are truly amazing. Our son transitioned well to this new school after being at the same daycare/preschool for 5 years. He’s experiencing a lot of new and exciting things and loving all of it.”

-Michelle, Croft Providence mother

“We simply do not know how the Croft team did it: opened a beautiful, loving, academically-rich school, with incredible teachers, in the middle of a pandemic! My son and all of his classmates had such a positive first year at Croft. It has been a delight to see how much they love learning and how much they love their school.”

- Laura, Croft Boston mother

“This is more than a special school. This is a special community. Boston is a better city because The Croft School exists.”

- Jason, Croft Boston father

“If you measure a school by the talent and heart of its educators, we can’t imagine there is a better school than CROFT!!!”

- Gigi, Croft Boston mother

 
 

Innovative Student Experience

“Do our students love coming to school to learn?” That’s the most important question we ask ourselves. And that’s why we’ve created a school model grounded in innovation, balance, rigor, and student-centeredness, and filled with what we call “wow” learning moments. The Croft student experience, positioned to strategically evolve as the world around us does, has been thoughtfully designed for children to emerge as talented problem solvers who possess exceptional academic skills, a strong sense of self and purpose, and a passion for lifelong learning.

Our Talent Commitment

“Outstanding” is not just a superficial descriptor when we talk about our team -- we really mean it.  Our teachers stand out. At Croft, we make a resolute commitment to provide our students with the very best: we aspire to hire and retain the top educators in the field. To us that means teachers who are caring and empathetic, experienced yet innovative, and who bring a natural and contagious zeal to a profession they love. That’s why we invest hundreds of hours in conversations, interviews, observations, and other efforts to hire and retain the best teachers. It is why our current teacher hiring rate stands at 0.4%.
