Cranbrook School is an independent Anglican day and boarding school, with multiple campuses in Sydney's eastern suburbs New South Wales, Australia for students from pre-school to year 12. The school was founded in 1918 with the Rev'd Frederick Thomas Perkins as the first headmaster. Cranbrook has a non-selective enrollment policy and currently caters for approximately 1,680[4] students from early learning (4 years old) to Year 12 (18 years old),[5] including 80 boarders from Years 7 to 12. The school is currently single-sex, but plans to be fully co-educational in the Senior School by 2029, with the first enrollment of female students planned for 2026.[6] Its pre-schools are already co-educational. Cranbrook is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[7] the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),[8] the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA),[6] and the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.[9] It is a founding member of the Combined Associated Schools (CAS).[10][11] and the Independent Sporting Association (ISA).
