About The Croft School  

The Croft School is a young independent school on the East Side of Providence.  Having opened in Fall 2018, our school currently enrolls 191 students in Kindergarten through Grade 6.  During the 2025-26 school year, we will expand to include Grade 7. Over time, we will grow into a 300-student Kindergarten - Grade 8 school.  

We are considered 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 School is built around the following core attributes:

  • Rigor and Spark
  • Student-Centeredness
  • Balance
  • Strong Relationships
  • Outstanding Teachers, Collaborative Improvement
  • A Diverse, Inclusive, Anti-Racist Community

Our Middle School program includes high-quality math, reading, and writing instruction, innovative project-based learning, rigorous elective courses, and weekly community field work.   In addition to rigorous, relevant, and culturally responsive academics, our Middle School program includes a focus on service-learning and purpose development. Further, we seek to provide our families with an exceptional experience built around convenience, community, communication, and partnership.

The Croft School has sister schools in the Jamaica Plain (founded 2020) and South End (founded 2022) neighborhoods of Boston.
