Welcome to our learning laboratory
Bancroft School is a workshop constantly in motion—an open and inclusive campus that inspires learners to engage with one another, their communities, and the world in meaningful and impactful ways. We are a laboratory that motivates curious minds to form the insights, skills, and character they’ll need to thrive far beyond their journey here.
Early Learning & Lower School
It’s a time of self-discovery, curiosity, imagination, and cultivating kindness. Lower School students learn one-on-one with faculty or in small cohorts, with lessons tailored to individual learning styles, levels of mastery, and interests.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
The Middle School years are about acquiring new academic responsibilities, building confidence, and cultivating leadership skills that foster self-respect—and respect for others.
Upper School
Our liberal arts curriculum—combined with countless opportunities for scholarly, athletic, artistic, social, workplace, and global engagement—gives students the broad education they need to succeed in the world’s top colleges and beyond.
