To say that Christchurch students are given all the tools necessary to achieve academic success and happiness in high school and to be well-prepared for college would be an understatement. Christchurch's college-preparatory curriculum is designed to assure that each student is challenged yet not overwhelmed. A student's present skill level, not grade level, determines his or her program of study and grade placement. With class sizes ranging from five to fifteen students, and only 220 students in the entire school, no one gets lost in the back row, and every teacher knows every name.

Faculty members are available to students during the entire academic school day, as well as in the extra-help period following classes. Extra-help is a terrific opportunity for students to spend high-quality time with a teacher studying for a test, getting individual instruction on a tough concept, or even just working on homework under a watchful eye. And because this is a boarding school with over 75% of the teaching faculty living on campus, academic needs and concerns can always be addressed.
