OUR APPROACH ACADEMICS Our approach to education is tailored to the whole girl – nurturing her social, emotional, physical and intellectual development – and is backed by research that girls in single- gender schools are more academically engaged and confident. A Crofton House education encourages girls to embrace their intellectual curiosity. Girls are encouraged to formulate, share and challenge ideas while finding their voices as citizens of the world. Staff at Crofton House are well versed in the developmental needs of girls and understand the importance of fostering risk-taking in a collaborative and supportive learning environment. We believe in building a strong partnership with parents to ensure that the girls flourish and, through events like our annual Whole World, Whole Girl speaker series, we bring experts on various aspects of girls’ education to discuss key issues with our community. The Junior School is an energetic and nurturing centre for learning for girls up to Grade 7. The program develops the whole child by offering an enriched and challenging curriculum with caring and enthusiastic teachers. Exciting lessons, field trips, in-depth projects, the integration of technology, and a positive partnership with parents all contribute to the environment of collaboration, curiosity and choice. 9
