Worcester isn't just a backdrop; it's an extension of our campus. This means students of all ages can:

• Engage in real-world learning, from a Lower School visit to the Worcester Art Museum to an Upper School internship at a nearby tech startup.
• Access world-class cultural institutions like The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts as part of their curriculum in music, arts, and history.
• Develop a sense of civic responsibility through community partnerships.

The Space to Explore: Our 34-Acre Green Campus

Bancroft is different. Our 34-acre campus provides the "suburban" advantages right here in the Worcester. This allows us to offer:

• Athletic facilities, including our Field House, extensive playing fields, tennis courts, and gymnasium space for everything from Pre-K P.E. to varsity championships.
• Dedicated arts, innovation, and learning spaces for every grade, allowing for ambitious projects without compromise.
• Beautiful green space, which includes a dedicated cross-country course, gardens, and playgrounds where our youngest learners explore the natural world and our oldest students can study.

At Bancroft, a student can learn about ecosystems in our on-campus woods in the morning and attend a professional performance downtown in the afternoon.
