At Crawford International North Coast College, we are dedicated to excellence as an overriding philosophy that permeates every aspect of our school. We provide our students with the finest, well-rounded education available.
Our approach to learning in Grades 8 and 9 mimics the inquiry-based learning promoted during the preparatory years. At Crawford International North Coast College, we are committed to academic excellence, achieved through international benchmarking (ICAS, IBTs), skilled and passionate teachers, and 21st-century technology in every classroom.
Our rigorous, globally aligned academic programme sets the tone for our students to learn future-focused skills that will prepare them for life beyond school.
