Lower School & Upper School

(kindergarten - fifth grade & sixth - eighth grade)

A Glimpse of a K-8 Community

Having a shared campus for Lower and Upper School students is unique. To truly reap the benefits of students aged 5 to 13 in the same space, the grounds and daily schedule are designed with thought and intention.

In the first few weeks of school, students in all grades introduced themselves in our daily, all-school Assembly.

📷 Meet the third grade class.

The Upper School Advisory period, which is scheduled once every six days, provides sixth, seventh, and eighth graders with different social-emotional learning opportunities. Last week this involved meeting their Lower School buddies and spending the class period together.

Kindergarten & Sixth Grade

📷 As kindergartners have been discussing acts of kindness and ways to make friends, sixth graders set a great example.

First & Eighth Grades

📷 First graders met their eighth grade buddies and shared reading time in one of Crane's favorite community hangout spots - The Brittingham Family Library!

Crane Values in Action

Each of our students is capable of anything, but that only matters if they know it and believe it about themselves. Learning in a safe and supportive environment allows our students to try new things while knowing that failure is an essential step on the path to success, building confidence through ongoing creativity and curiosity.

Two students stepped up to the podium last week to kick off this year's eighth grade speeches. Each Tuesday and Thursday in Assembly, we can look forward to a new topic presented by an eighth grader. Last week's presentations explored the history of Barbie and The Little Mermaid and reflected on how both have adapted over the years to become more diverse and inclusive.

Bravo to our first two presenters 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
