According to the students, the academic culture among peers is encouraging and cooperative. The schools’ emphasis on collaborative learning would naturally encourage this, but the students also described an environment of mutual academic support.
Read The Our Kids Review of Crescent School
information not available
One of the chief benefits of a gender specific school is the provision of opportunities for students to resist the stereotypes that they would encounter in co-ed schools. Crescent, of course, addresses the specific needs of boys around learning and development, though that experiential piece is equally important: to maintain an environment in which boy’s attention and curiosity can be actively engaged, and where they can participate in all curricular areas outside of any need to impress others or gain status across gender lines. Crescent begins, as they say, from the understanding that "when you remove girls from the classroom, some remarkable things can happen." And they’re right to. They also have a long tradition of doing just that. The ideal student is one who is academically curious, has broad potential, and could benefit from increased opportunity to express both their curiosity and their potential.
View full reportThere has been a Linbrook School at this site in Oakville for more than 80 years—prior to 2010, it was the site of a public school with that name. The current Linbrook school keeps the name, as the founders liked the continuity it provided within the community, including the educational tradition that the school represented. That said, the current Linbrook shares little more than a name with that school. It’s the only boys’ school in Oakville, and the approach is based in providing a diversity of activity, and physical movement, both within the classroom and without. Students learn in a dynamic, group environment. Classrooms are large to promote small group facilitation. The facilities were entirely updated for the school's opening, and incorporate a full range of instructional technology. The grounds, including green space and play fields, also recommend the school.

"Crescent School has been a leader in boys’ education since 1913. Our mission, Men of Character from Boys of Promise, drives our academic and co-curricular programs and guides students as they learn about who they are, how they can lead and the legacy they can leave behind. Our dedicated faculty are committed to active, experiential and relational learning which brings out the best in boys. We cultivate excellence in academics, arts, athletics, business, outreach and robotics on a beautiful state-of-the-art campus."
"Linbrook School is a not-for-profit, independent day school and Oakville’s only boys' school. At Linbrook, we recognize that every boy has his own special skills; athletes, musicians, performers, artists, writers and humanitarians will all have the opportunity to shine and thrive as members of our school community. Exceptional teachers, an engaged parent community, and a beautiful school with character, modern amenities and expansive, outdoor learning spaces comprise the Linbrook experience."
"Character development is the defining feature of a Crescent education. Crescent has identified thirteen character traits that are explicitly incorporated in the school's curriculum and re-inforced in our Character-in-Action co-curricular programs, including signature programs in the Arts, Athletics, Business, Outreach and Robotics. Crescent graduates can answer the questions: Who am I? How do I lead? What is my legacy?"

Thank you for taking this opportunity to learn about Crescent School. I am pleased you are considering us on your quest to find the ideal school for your son.
Crescent is proudly a school where boys can learn about who they are, how they can lead and begin to discover the legacy they can leave behind – all so important, when the need for good men in this world has never been greater.
As a father myself, I deeply know how important it is for you to send your son to a school with the right culture, values and support he needs to cultivate an ongoing passion for excellence and achieve future success.
I believe that we are that kind of school.
For over 100 years, we have maintained an unwavering focus on character development. Our mission, Men of Character from Boys of Promise, recognizes that boys with curious minds and open hearts have the potential to develop in a manner that will fit their mission in life, whatever it might be.
Our desire is to be a place where boys come to be well. This is what motivates our ambition to nurture their social-emotional and physical wellness in addition to their academic achievement.
Our actively involved and culturally diverse community of staff, faculty and parents steadfastly supports our efforts and our vision. And because lasting friendships and strong bonds are an inherent part of the Crescent School experience, your son will graduate with an alumni brotherhood that will be with him for life.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our campus and our community.
It is my pleasure to introduce Linbrook School, Oakville’s independent day school for boys. Thank you for including us in your search for a school that upholds your values and reflects your vision. Within our community, we support our boys’ learning styles and respect their unique personalities. We are committed to providing an exceptional experience our students will remember and appreciate for a lifetime.
We are fortunate to live in a society that continues to seek answers and provide insight into how children develop. Research on brain function has helped to clarify the physical differences of boys and girls, and we may confidently say that boys and girls learn differently and socialize in their own distinct ways. Research also confirms that boys thrive in an all boys’ learning environment. At Linbrook, we proudly offer a diverse program that allows students to explore their interests and discover their own special talents. We recognize the value of a strong mind, a healthy body and a vibrant spirit. Therefore, in addition to providing a challenging academic curriculum, we also emphasize athletics, visual arts, music, leadership, public speaking and outdoor education. Most importantly, we teach our young men the significance of moral integrity.
On behalf of the staff at Linbrook, we would be delighted to have an opportunity to share in your son’s education. I welcome you to join us for a discussion about how we may work together to enrich your son’s life. Our door is always open, and we look forward to meeting you soon.
Progressive

Progressive (sometimes called "in- quiry-based") curricula attempt to place children's interests and ideas at the heart of the learning experience. Instead of lessons being driven by predetermined pathways, progressive curricula are often "emergent", with learning activities shaped by students' questions about the world. Instead of starting with academic concepts and then tying it to everyday experience, progressive methods begin with everyday experience and work back to an academic lesson. Teachers provide materials, experiences, tools and resources to help students investigate a topic or issue. Students are encouraged to explore, reflect on their findings, and discuss answers or solutions.

A Crescent education is academically rigorous, exciting, fulfilling, relevant and broad. We exceed the overall and specific expectations of the Ontario Ministry of Education and then enrich each subject level to challenge our students. Our curriculum is taught by highly motivated teachers who have the competencies essential for boys to flourish. They understand that establishing a relationship with a boy unlocks the door to his learning and engages him in his character development. We offer an optional Advanced Placement (AP) program for mathematics, sciences, English, French, geography and economics. This allows our Upper School students to earn university credits or placement into a second-year university course. All of our curricular and co-curricular activities reflect "The Crescent Way" - they are closely aligned to our mission, vision and values and are responsive to boys' unique interests, capacities and aspirations.
Linbrook boys will benefit from an academic program that provides them with a strong foundation for future learning. Within our differentiated classrooms, curriculum expectations are individualized; teachers skillfully provide support and offer enrichment to suit each unique learner. Students are enthusiastically encouraged to put forth their best effort and reach their personal goals. At Linbrook, learning is a rewarding experience since content is meaningful and hands-on activities are regularly provided. Our diverse workspaces and student-centred instructional practices support boys’ learning styles and teach them to responsibly approach tasks. In addition, we stand by our small class sizes and proudly offer state-of-the-art technology.
Equal Balance
Traditional Math typically teaches a method or algorithm FIRST, and THEN teaches the applications for the method. Traditional algorithms are emphasized and practiced regularly: repetition and drills are frequently used to ensure foundational mastery in the underlying mathematical procedures. The traditional approach to math views math education as akin to building a logical edifice: each brick depends on the support of the previously laid ones, which represent mastery over a particular procedure or method. Traditional Math begins by giving students a tool, and then challenges students to practice using that tool an applied way, with progressively challenging problems. In this sense Traditional Math aims to establish procedural understanding before conceptual and applied understanding.
These math programs feature an equal balance of “Traditional” and “Discovery” methods.
In Grades 3-6, our math curriculum is one grade-level ahead of the Ontario Ministry of Education expectations. It combines daily math drill and problem-solving activities with the Math Makes Sense textbook series and Crescent School-created math curricula. In Grades 9-12, we strive to challenge and support a wide range of aptitudes and abilities. Our program is streamed in Grade 9 into regular and enriched math. Students in the regular stream are given a strong foundation. Extra help is easily and widely available. Most of our students take two of the three Grade 12 math courses. For students in the enriched stream, there is a heavy emphasis on problem solving and math contests, leading to the opportunity to take AP Statistics and AP Calculus.

Core Knowledge
Usually focused on teaching history and geography at an early age, the core knowledge approach uses story, drama, reading, and discussion to teach about significant people, places, and events. Breadth of content and knowledge is emphasized. The curriculum is often organized according to the underlying logic of the content: history might be taught sequentially, for example (as students move through the grades).

Crescent School's foreign language curriculum is based on a teaching philosophy known as the "action-oriented approach." Students are given real-life scenarios in which they learn the language through social interaction (rather than focusing primarily on grammar rules and fill-in-the-blank exercises). This approach imparts vocabulary and grammar rules within the context of the scenario. The scenarios are complemented with materials such as newspaper articles or videos. In addition, the language being learned is used as the language of instruction. Our foreign language curriculum also strives to instill an interest in the cultures to which the languages are tied. Students in Grades 8 to 12 prepare for the DELF (Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française), an internationally recognized exam that is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

At Crescent, students of all ages are encouraged to take creative risks and explore their artistic abilities. We produce three major drama productions each year in the school's professionally equipped theatre, giving students experience with acting, production and theatre-management roles. In our visual arts program, students are exposed to a broad range of forms, genres and styles. The experience of making art is central to the curriculum. Crescent's music program offers individual and group lessons in a range of musical disciplines. These include senior and junior choirs, chamber choirs, a senior string ensemble, a strings academy, wind bands, a guitar ensemble and chamber groups. Students perform at assemblies, recitals and concerts. Students also perform in music festivals, competitions and performance tours. Crescent also offers a strong media arts/multimedia technology program.

Heavy integration
Effort is made to integrate the development of digital literacy through the curriculum. However, this is not a dominant focus.
A major effort is made to integrate the development of digital literacy throughout the curriculum and in everything students do. Digital literacy is understood to be a fundamental skill in the 21st century: it therefore follows, the idea goes, that teachers should find ways to connect every lesson back to technology. Effort is made to ensure the use of technology is meaningful and advances students’ skills beyond what they would otherwise be from using computers outside the classroom.

We want our students to appreciate healthy active living, and to understand how living a healthy, active life can enhance all aspects of their lives. We expose them to many different types of athletic activities and exercise, so each student can find something they enjoy doing that they can choose to participate in all their life.

Academic
Academic-based preschools and Kindergartens are the most structured of the different types, and have a strong emphasis on math and reading readiness skills. These programs aim to expose children to what early-elementary school is like. While time is still allotted to free play, much of the day is built around explicit lessons guided by the teacher. Classrooms often resemble play-based ones (with different stations set up around the room), but at an Academic program the teacher leads students through the stations directly, and ties these activities to a whole-class lesson or theme.
The Linbrook approach supports teaching methods and learning spaces that encourage movement, inspire the pursuit of knowledge, and offer a warm and supportive environment. With access to training by leading experts on boys’ education, our staff members understand and are passionate about how boys learn.
Standard-enriched
Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

Rigorous
A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.
