Welcome to our learning laboratory
Discover the Bancroft Difference - The premier college preparatory PreK to 12 Independent Day School in Central Massachusetts. Our talented faculty use innovative teaching methods designed for active learning to meet students where they are academically, socially, and emotionally. We help students become the best versions of themselves.
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.

Presidential Letters
You’re never too young to let your voice be heard. Bancroft fourth grade students capped their study of presidential candidates with a cache of letters to President Joe Biden — and the POTUS himself responded!

Summer is better at Bancroft. Shoot some hoops. Sharpen your math skills. Take up the violin.
What are you doing this summer? Bancroft offers a wide range of enrichment programs throughout the summer to help students of all ages discover new interests, sharpen skills, and meet new friends.
