When was cranbrook founded?

These include day camps, a soccer clinic, a film seminar, a compensatory educational program for students from low-income families, a jazz ensemble, ice hockey, lacrosse and tennis camps, as well as the Cranbrook Theater School. Under this agreement, the Cranbrook Foundation was canceled and all of Cranbrook's assets, those belonging to both the institutions and the Foundation, were transferred to a new community trust. Although the endowments provided by the Boots remained intact after their death in the late 1940s, the additional donations they frequently made to Cranbrook institutions ceased and the community's financial picture weakened somewhat. As the central point of the proposed building complex, they envisaged an episcopal church, Christ Church Cranbrook, to serve the new institutions.

The Cranbrook Academy of Art is dedicated only to graduate studies in the arts and offers master's degree programs in fine arts and architecture. The current organization of Cranbrook schools, which began in October 1984 and ended the following fall, included the merger of the upper grades of Cranbrook and Kingswood to create Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School, a blended school, on two campuses.

Cranbrook schools

are part of the Cranbrook Educational Community (CEC), which includes the Cranbrook Institute of Science, the Cranbrook Academy of Art and Cranbrook House and Gardens. Building largely on plans drawn up by George Booth, teams of landscape architects, farmers, gardeners and workers were hired to transform Cranbrook's abandoned fields into a beautiful rural estate and functioning farm.

Traditionally, the Cranbrook School also has an exchange program with the Cranbrook School of Kent, a boarding school in Cranbrook, Kent, England, in honor of George Booth's legacy. The constituent articles of the CEC required that the community be composed of three divisions of the Cranbrook Institute of Science, the Cranbrook Academy of Art and the Cranbrook Schools, each led by a director who, in consultation with a divisional board of governors, reported to the administrative officer of the CEC, the president of the Community. In 1985, Cranbrook School and Kingswood School merged to create a blended higher school, the Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School. The design was chosen by William Oliver Stevens, the first director of the Cranbrook School, who drew it.

The Cranbrook Academy of Art is part of Cranbrook's larger educational community, a 319-acre campus that also includes a contemporary art museum, a science museum, and a college preparatory school for pre-primary school children at age 12.They hired Saarinen as chief architect of the campus and eventually designed the Cranbrook School for boys (1925-192), the Kingswood School for girls (1929-1993), the Cranbrook Institute of Science (1935-1993), the Cranbrook Academy of Art (1925-1994) and the Cranbrook Museum and Art Library (1938-1944). In 1985, Cranbrook and Kingswood schools merged to create a blended higher education institution. By then, the Booth had begun to seriously consider establishing educational institutions in Cranbrook.
