Technology Education
Cranbrook is a pioneer in the use of Smartboards in the classroom. Teachers use these technologically advanced interactive whiteboards in the classroom to demonstrate concepts, access the internet, and take notes. The class notes can then be downloaded to the teachers' websites for students to review in the evening. All residential students have high-speed internet connections in their rooms.
College Placement
We believe that in today's competitive environment, preparation for college should be comprehensive and challenging. Thus, our entire program is geared toward preparing students to be successful at the university that they choose. With four full-time college placement professionals at Cranbrook, each counselor typically works with fewer than 50 seniors each year. Each year well over 100 colleges and universities come to Cranbrook to interview our students.
