Crofton House School
A Crofton House School Education
Crofton House School ( CHS ), founded in 1898 , is a school where girls can boldly pursue their education in a rigorous academic tradition alongside robust programs in the arts and athletics .
Our students learn the values of courage , creativity , and citizenship supported by extraordinary teachers and a vibrant community . In addition , the School offers comprehensive cocurricular sports and activities programs , which serves to further develop character , leadership , team building , and community spirit .
Whole Girl Education Model
We believe in a student-centered , inquiry-based , collaborative delivery model that allows our girls to explore competencies and international practise through our enriched curricular content .
Student-Centered
Our girls feel valued as individuals ; as part of the collective school community they create and plan their personal journey . As they embrace responsibility for their learning journey , they are more engaged and invested in their personal learning . This environment nurtures the whole girl , giving her choice while making meaningful connections to all aspects of her education .
Inquiry-Based
An environment of intellectual curiosity is created and fostered by centering the learning experience on questioning , imagination , observation and wonder . Creative and critical thinking are valued and encouraged .
Collaborative
Students develop an understanding and participate in the shared goals of the learning community . As they work together , share ideas , create knowledge , solve problems , encourage and foster interdependent relations , and appreciate diversity , they will enhance the collective learning experience .
