Cranbrook Kingswood is a private, K-12 school located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Founded in the early 20th century by publishing mogul George Booth, Cranbrook Kingswood is part of the Cranbrook Educational Community, which also includes Christ Church Cranbrook , the Cranbrook Institute of Science , the Cranbrook Academy of Art, and Cranbrook House .

Cranbrook Kingswood is made up of four schools which are spread out over a large campus.
