Question 5: What's available in the alumni directory?
Answer:

The Alumni Networking Directory lists approximately 1700 alumni (and growing) by year, city, and name. To help protect the privacy of this information, you must be given authorised access to the directory. (The delay in registering is never more than a day or two.)

The Alumni Netwokring Directory also features a business directory, allowing alumni to search for service providers with a common connection to Crescent School. If you've not listed your business in the Alumni Networking Directory, you may be missing out on some important opportunities.

Question 1: If I make a donation to Crescent will I receive a tax receipt?
Answer:

Yes.

Crescent will provide a tax receipt and you will receive a letter of thanks within a few days after receiving your donation.

We have partnered with organisations in the United States and the UK to provide tax receipts to residents of either of those countries. Please contact Graham Steele llett with questions about making a donation from abroad.
