Crane Country Day School, established in 1928 by William D. Crane, is a highly-regarded kindergarten through eighth grade, coeducational private school in Santa Barbara, California, United States.[1]

William D. Crane shared a remarkable vision with founding headmaster F. Arnold Lejeune. Crane has remained true to their vision for the past eight decades, offering rigorous academic programs with hands-on experiences that challenge both the intellect and the imagination.

Crane teaches the whole child. They provide children with opportunities in academics, arts, sports, and community service. Involvement in these activities helps each child discover talents and strengths, which build every child's joy and confidence.

Part of Crane's philosophy is a focus on hard work and personal responsibility. Crane's rigorous academic standards in combination with effective, individualized teaching methods allow them to challenge their students to move to the next level.

Crane seeks to inspire students to develop a deeper understanding of subject matter both in and beyond the classroom. This approach helps ignite children's natural curiosity.

Crane strives to be an inclusive school with economic and racial diversity, where everyone is treated with respect and kindness. Friendships between students at different grade levels, relationships between students and teachers, and a partnership between teachers and parents make Crane a cohesive community. Service learning creates additional ties between their students and the larger community.
