Reminder: Conversation with Admissions
The Admissions Team will be holding two “Conversation with Admissions” virtual Q&A sessions at 9:00 am on Wednesday, April 29 and Wednesday, May 19. Richard Cohee, Director, Admissions, and his team will lead a discussion about the admissions process and financial assistance (for new students entering Grade 8) and there will be an opportunity for questions. We are grateful to know that many extraordinary students come to Crofton House through word-of-mouth from our community. This session will share information about the admissions process and financial assistance with current parents so they’re able to help answer questions when referring families to Crofton House. Please RSVP online to attend.

Kent Field is one of the best places to be during these lovely sun-filled days. Grade 4 students showed off their balance and endurance in some complex agility courses complete with ladders, ropes, cones and hoops.
Grade 5 students got to experience both forest and shoreline environments during Outdoor Education last week, helping develop an appreciation and understanding of the complex natural world that surrounds us.
