Girl-Centred Education
At Crofton House School girls are at the centre of everything we do.
Our educational approach focuses on the whole girl—nurturing her social, emotional, physical, and intellectual potential and empowering each girl to imagine the future she wants for herself and her world. It is informed by research that shows girls have unique learning needs and preferences and that when these are met, girls develop a higher level of confidence, leading to better academic and personal outcomes.
