CCBE CCBE The Crescent Centre for Boys’ Education Discovering How Boys Learn Best FORWARD

Michael Fellin P’24 Headmaster, Crescent School

The idea of a Crescent School research centre was seeded during our strategic planning sessions roughly five years ago. As we contemplated our future, we knew then that providing professional growth and learning opportunities for our faculty would ensure that we found, retained and developed the very best people to deliver our mission, Men of Character from Boys of Promise. What’s more, we wanted an opportunity to learn from one another on how best to educate our boys, and to share this expertise nationally and globally.

The Crescent Centre for Boys’ Education (CCBE) is the manifestation of our vision. It is a place where learning, inquiry, research, and professional development come together to support this goal. We are proud to join a global network of schools with research centres to guide their practice and professional learning communities. With over 100 years of excellence in teaching boys, we are eminently positioned to stand among them.

The CCBE augments Crescent’s standing as a world leader in the theories and practices dedicated to discovering how boys learn best. It supports evidence-based research studies conducted by Crescent faculty and staff, and promotes this important work to a broader audience. Our staff have embraced this opportunity to learn and grow from their practice.

I congratulate Dr. Sandra Boyes and Mrs. Trish Cislak on CCBE’s inaugural year, and look forward to the inspiring work emerging from the Centre.
