Past and Present
Booth and his wife decided to begin expanding upon their property for the use of the public with the Greek Theater, built in 1915 and still used to this day as an outdoors theater for students of all ages. The Meeting House, first the Bloomfield Hills school and changed to Brookside School Cranbrook in 1929, was built in 1918 but was first used as a school for local children in 1922. Approximately 500 students, enrolled in either junior or senior kindergarten and grades 1 through 5, attend the Vlasic Early Childhood Center and Brookside respectively.
Cranbrook School for Boys, completed in 1928, was the first project headed by Eliel Saarinen; Kingswood School for Girls was opened in 1931. These three schools operated separately until a decision in 1970 to govern them all together; this was soon followed by the creation of the Cranbrook Educational Community. Gottlieb Eliel Saarinen (August 20, 1873, Rantasalmi, Finland – July 1, 1950, Cranbrook, Michigan, United States) was a Finnish architect who became famous for his art nouveau buildings in the early years of the 20th century. ...

The middle school was soon divided into two campuses in 1984; this decision was helped along by the CEC's acquisition of Vaughan School, which still is to this day the home of the boys' middle school with 165 boys currently enrolled. The basement of Kingswood is the girls' middle school, with 166 girls enrolled. All classes are separate for boys and girls from grades 6-8, and English, Religion, and History remain separate through grade 10.
Cranbrook and Kingswood were merged in the same year as well in order to create a coeducational upper school, with classes in both of the original Cranbrook and Kingswood campuses. Currently, mathematics, sciences, foreign language, religion & philosophy, and performing arts are taught on the Cranbrook campus, while English, history, and fine arts are taught on the Kingswood campus. As of 2006, there are 763 students, approximately 1/3 of which are boarding students who live in single-sex residence halls. Cranbrook Kingswood is commonly referred to as "CK" by its students, faculty, and alumni. A college preparatory school, CK offers a comprehensive and challenging program that includes 15 Advanced Placement courses in its upper school. A university-preparatory school or college-preparatory school (usually shortened to preparatory school, or prep school) is a private secondary school (or high school) designed to prepare a student for higher education. ...
