Philosophy
Bancroft aims to provide a non-competitive environment that encourages creative thinking and cooperative learning. The school also encourages self-esteem, respect for others and a sense of pride in our multicultural community.

Distinctive Programs
In addition to the excellent Mathematics and Language Arts programs, the school traditionally produces a full-scale musical involving all cycles. This annual show, which receives help from the community and MIND High School, is well attended and is the highest of our school year. Bancroft School also provides 90 minutes of French instruction a day. The school has a unique variety of extracurricular activities organized by teachers, parents and the school's resource staff.

Students are encouraged to participate in activities during lunch break such as: dodgeball, basketball and tennis. Parents supervise other activities such as: reading in the library, society games, scientific experiments and caricature drawing. Bancroft students also profit from extracuricular activities including weekly drumming lessons taught by a perfesional percussionist, a YMCA program and an excursion to the Laurentians at the end of the year. Every year Bancroft School celebrates the Chinese New Year with workshops on the Chinese cuisine and the Chinese art of dance.

Parental Participation
In addition to their part in lunchtime activitiescroft School's parents organize an annual bake sale and a Walkathon to raise funds for the school. Bancroft shares its premises with MIND High School.
