Cranbrook Schools is a private PK–12 educational institution located on a 319-acre (129 ha) campus in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. It includes a co-educational elementary school, a middle school with separate schools for boys and girls, and a co-educational college-preparatory high school with boarding facilities. Cranbrook Schools is part of the Cranbrook Educational Community (CEC), which includes the Cranbrook Institute of Science, the Cranbrook Academy of Art, and Cranbrook House and Gardens. Christ Church Cranbrook is also on campus. The Cranbrook community was established by publishing mogul George Booth, who bought the site of today's Cranbrook community in 1904. Cranbrook was designated a National Historic Landmark on June 29, 1989, for its significant architecture and design. It attracts tourists from around the world.[2][3] Approximately 40 acres (160,000 m2) of Cranbrook Schools' campus are gardens.
As of 2023, Cranbrook Schools had an endowment of $217 million, among the fifteen largest held by America's boarding schools.[4] In addition, the Cranbrook Educational Community, of which the schools is a member, had an endowment in excess of $300 million in 2007.[5]
As of 2021[update] it had 1,656 students, making it Michigan's largest private school by enrollment in a single campus.[6]
