Cranbrook Schools is a private, PK-12 school located on a 311-acre campus in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Founded in 1904 by publishing mogul George Booth, Cranbrook Schools is part of the Cranbrook Educational Community, which also includes the Cranbrook Institute of Science, the Cranbrook Academy of Art, and Cranbrook House and Gardens.

Cranbrook Schools consists of a lower school, two single-gender middle schools and an upper school. The upper school was originally established as the Cranbrook School for boys and the Kingswood School for girls prior to merging in 1985 to form the Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School. Approximately 500 students attend Brookside, the lower school, which includes the Vlasic Early Childhood Center, in grades PK (pre-kindergarten) through 5. 165 boys are enrolled in the Cranbrook Kingswood Middle School for Boys and and 166 girls are enrolled in the Cranbrook Kingswood Middle School for Girls. All classes are separate for boys and girls from grades 6-8, and English, Religion, and History remain separate through grade 10.

The upper school is separated across two campuses, though it is co-educational. 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 (which also houses the girls' middle school). The upper school has 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, Cranbrook Schools offers a comprehensive and challenging program that includes 15 Advanced Placement courses in its upper school.
