Benefits of All Girls

The school founder, Dr. Jessie Gordon, was an educational pioneer with a far-reaching dream. A visionary of her time, she believed in the transformative power of knowledge. In 1898, she established an all-girls school where young women could step beyond the confines of gender and reach the full extent of their potential. This philosophy has remained at the heart of Crofton House School for over a century.

Girls enjoy not just equal opportunity but every opportunity. Expectations are high but the school environment is designed to keep stress levels low.

At Crofton House School, learning in all forms takes centre stage. There is a sincere commitment to each girl and her individual development. Instruction is customized. Accomplishment is cherished and celebrated. Girls feel confident and comfortable with math, science and technology. They are free from the distractions and restrictions of mixed-gender environments. They are surrounded by other girls who are here to learn and teachers who light the way.
