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 225 students in Kindergarten through Grade 7.  During the 2026-27 school year, we will expand to include Grade 8, growing into a 300-student 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 program includes high-quality math, reading, and writing instruction, innovative project-based learning, age-appropriate opportunities for play and creative expression, frequent enrichment and Spanish courses, and weekly nature explorations or community trips (field study).  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 Jamaica Plain (founded 2020) and the South End neighborhood of Boston (founded 2022).
