Official Practice/Qualifying Site VEX Pentathlon Cranbrook Kingswood Middle School Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Welcome

The Cranbrook Kingswood Middle School is committed to single-sex education, which provides separate environments

and programs for boys and girls during a critical point in their development as students and young men and women. We

believe that by offering supportive environments tailor-made to the needs of boys and girls at this age, we provide an

extraordinary opportunity for students to increase self-confidence, possess more positive attitudes toward school and

homework, and achieve better academic performance. We invite you to discover the ways Cranbrook distinguishes

itself from other learning environments and invites students to participate in a long, rich tradition of excellence and

achievement.

We welcome Robofest teams!
