Crofton House School offers a girl-centred learning environment for students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12. Here, students are motivated to strive for their best selves, embracing academic challenge and diverse experiences, guided by staff who know them and believe in them.

Bound by our belief in the power of girl-centered education, Crofton House School fosters a strong sense of community among educators, staff, students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12, and families. Here, everyone can contribute to the strength of our school– including you. 

We offer extensive professional development opportunities, competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package. Our 10-acre campus provides modern facilities, as well as beautiful outdoor spaces and a daily connection to nature. 

The English+ Program, which serves approximately 40 students, has been developed to support experienced multilingual students as they work towards mastery of the academic language teachers use for lessons, assessments, and assignments. Because academic language mastery is a challenging process, the English+ program supports students through all five years of high-school, in-timetable and outside of timetable.

Our English Plus students will concurrently take a mainstream English 8 class as well as a full year English+ tutorial class. During the English+ tutorial block, students study additional literature and engage in the development of grammar and writing skills used for effective writing in academic and creative domains. As students progress to Grade 10-12, they will begin to receive less support in the form of semestered or flexible support arrangements. 

Furthermore, the English Plus coordinator will work closely with our team of teachers and fellow coordinators in integrating a culturally responsive approach within pedagogical practices and the classroom community. They will also work in partnership with teachers to support students in developing English for Academic Purposes through a high-immersion setting.

Crofton House School is committed to a partnership with Women Leaders of Tomorrow, a nonprofit organization focused on education in Afghanistan. As part of this commitment, the school enrolls students from Afghanistan to complete the last few years of their HIgh School education. The English+ Coordinator plays a vital role in the support of our Afghanistan students through to graduation including where necessary preparation for English Proficiency qualifications required by Higher Education Institutions.   

Established in 1898, Crofton House has a long history of girl-centred education. Today, the School has over 900 students and almost 200 staff members learning, working and playing on our 10-acre campus in Vancouver.
