For generations, Cranbrook Schools has fulfilled its promise of providing challenging and comprehensive college preparation: the promise of readying our students to excel at the colleges of their dreams and in life beyond. Balanced between a legacy of educational innovation and a rich history of tradition, Cranbrook is more than the opportunity for a great education.
 
We are grateful to the many alumni, parents, parents of alumni, grandparents, governors, trustees, faculty, staff and friends who stand together in support of Cranbrook Schools.
