As a leading Michigan private school, we know how to prepare you for college. You need to be challenged. You need to pursue your strengths and discover new passions. You need to be in a place that attracts students who want to learn. A place where education is personal. A place where education is international. A high school that offers the educational experience of a lifetime.  At Cranbrook, you have the support of your teachers – they urge you to excel and then stay after class to discuss a puzzling math problem. You sit with fifteen classmates to discuss your analysis of feminist theory and Hamlet. You gain fascinating insight from your friends – who come from all over the world. You use your free period to prepare for a test in AP Physics. You are involved in athletic activities, play the trumpet, and write for The Crane-Clarion, our student newspaper.

You spend every day in this amazing setting and so when it’s time to go to college you realize something. Being at college is more than finding the right school – it’s about being THAT person. Someone who can change the world. As one of Michigan's most prestigious private high schools, Cranbrook will help you become that person.
