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

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural, year-end report for the Crescent Centre for Boys’ Education.

As we conclude our first year of influence and impact on Crescent School, we are proud to realize that much has been accomplished despite the COVID19 pandemic. The CCBE was established on the premise that it would enrich our entire Crescent community and inform those dedicated to the education of boys beyond our walls. The global reach of our work resonates with our purpose now more than ever. Our curious and engaged teacher leaders are improving the teaching and learning experience for everyone in our community. By the same token, our boys are flexing their student agency by sharing insights into the research we are conducting and by adding their voices and perspectives to who we are as a School. Crescent School has a thriving research culture. Faculty members are incorporating and implementing data from their professional reading, action research projects and longitudinal research studies. Our dedicated Professional Learning Community Research committee meets regularly to support current work and prepare for what lies ahead.

We are grateful to have a dedicated, collaborative, physical space for the CCBE; it provides inspiration for our community to embrace research ideals and connect with others. These intentional practices enhance our understanding of the skills, knowledge and character qualities that define our mission of Men of Character from Boys of Promise.

Our global network with established and new partners will continue to strengthen. Crescent School will continue to be on the frontlines of excellence in boys’ education. We are excited for what our future holds.
