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!
