Cranbrook School’s mission is to encourage and enable all its students to explore, enjoy and fulfil their potential.
We offer a selection of scholarships that provide pathways for gifted and talented students to benefit from our world-class academic programmes, exceptional teaching staff, and extensive co-curricular and sporting opportunities. Recognising that talent and potential exist across all communities, some scholarships also provide financial assistance for students whose circumstances may otherwise limit their access to a Cranbrook education.
Through our scholarship programme, we seek to attract students of ability, character and promise who will contribute to the strength of our Cranbrook community.
