We begin our journey together by recognizing the gifts that you bring: we believe that every student is of infinite value, and we will guide your journey by helping you discover your strengths: by helping you to build your self-confidence,to find a sense of purpose, and to establish your identity.

Your journey will include challenge and growth: learning things you never knew, experiencing things you've never done, and finding that you can and do have an impact on the world around you.

Your journey will include the support, structure and stimulation of our core values. You will find the acceptance and kindness you need to succeed. You will increase your curiosity about the world around you, learn respect for others and the environment, and how important integrity is.

In the afternoons, life at Christchurch offers a huge variety of choices to fulfill our requirement that every student grow by being involved in our community. Students participate in three areas of co-curricular activities, each offering opportunities to grow in confidence and ability: Athletics and Drama, Journeys Season (River Immersion, Living Campus, Community Service, and Leadership), and Spiritual Life. Want to be a three-season athlete? Can do. But you will grow by a little participation across the board. Want to be on the water all the time? You can make it happen in sailing or crew, in Marine Science, River Immersion, or an Adventure Trip. Not sure where your interest lies? Dive in and find out. You will find something, on the river, on the stage, in the community, on the field, that will give you satisfaction and new confidence.

On dorm and around campus, we want your time at Christchurch to be homelike and comfortable, but also to provide you with growth and learning experiences. Each hall of our dorms becomes a family, sharing study time but also outings, meals and relaxation. Student activities that continue your journey include Weekend Adventure Trips and a variety of recreational activities and leadership opportunities.

Our mission is your growth and we know that growth happens as much outside the classroom as within.
