The Croft School

The Croft School is a small, exceptional independent school organization operating three schools across Boston & Providence.

The Croft School is a small, exceptional independent school organization. We currently operate three schools across Boston and Providence, with a Cambridge school opening in September 2026. Our schools provide a rigorous, balanced, student-centered program to their students and a unique parent-oriented experience to their families, all within a tight-knit, diverse, and joyous environment. We are c

onsidered by many families and teachers to represent an exciting new type of school that is ideal for those concerned about the area’s existing public school (inconsistent quality; driven by standardized test outcomes) and private school (elitism; unaffordable; lack of diversity; limited innovation) options. The Croft Schools are built around the ethos of rigor, spark, heart, joy, and belonging. Our first school opened in Providence in 2018. It currently educates 200 students across Kindergarten - Grade 7, and will ultimately grow into a K-8 school. Our second school opened in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston in 2020. It currently educates 250 students across Preschool - Grade 5, and will ultimately grow into a Preschool - Grade 6 school. Our third school opened in the South End neighborhood of Boston in 2022. It currently educates 100 students across Preschool - Grade 2, and will ultimately grow into a Preschool - Grade 6 school. More information about our organization and schools can be found here: www.thecroftschool.org.

Preschoolers recently had a very special guest visit, local author Noah Sorin! Noah read his book Benjy the Treehopper that taught students why trees are so essential to our environment, and some steps we can take to prevent deforestation. Preschoolers connected the themes in the book to their learning about different animal habitats around the world.

Second graders brought the story Everything Naomi Loved to life through a special cross-curricular art and ELA experience! Inspired by Naomi’s love of art and self-expression, students collaborated to create a large-scale mural in the snow. Using liquid watercolors in spray bottles and recycled water bottles, they explored color, layering, movement, and teamwork while transforming the snowy ground into a vibrant, joyful masterpiece.

Check out these Kindergarten Polar Bears! During art class, students participated in a guided studio to learn how to draw bears, make them expressive, and create the texture of “fur” using tempera paint and a dry brush. These different techniques made each bear so unique! ❄️

✨ Croft Educator Spotlight: Featuring Ms. Gyves ✨

"Croft is a place where joy, curiosity, and challenge coexist. Teachers truly own their craft and are empowered to design thoughtful, rigorous instruction that meets the needs and passions of our students. The school culture creates a genuine sense of belonging; kids and staff are inclusive, celebrate differences, and feel safe being their unique selves. Families are deeply engaged partners, collaborating with teachers and volunteering at school events. Croft is a community built on trust, shared responsibility, and a collective commitment to helping every student thrive." - Ms. Gyves, Grade 3 Lead Teacher

We are so grateful for educators like Ms. Gyves who bring this vision to life every single day and make Croft such a special place to learn and grow. 🍎 🌱🚀

✨ Croft Educator Spotlight: Featuring Ms. Janel✨

“At Croft, teachers are trusted as professionals and encouraged to bring pieces of their own passions, experiences, and creativity into daily lessons, making learning more meaningful and engaging for students. They are given a strong level of autonomy and flexibility to thoughtfully maneuver the schedule when needed, ensuring instruction remains responsive to student needs rather than rigidly fixed. Families are active partners in the school community - eager to volunteer, participate, and support learning. Our feedback is genuinely valued, and the school takes time to reflect on input in order to continuously grow and improve.” - Ms. Janel, Grade 1 Lead Teacher
