Mission & Values
Christchurch is an Episcopal co-ed boarding and day school that serves and guides each student in achieving personal excellence in academics and character, preparing them for meaningful lives as engaged citizens and community leaders.
What We Stand For
Character, Curiosity, Community
Character
We develop the whole person, not just the student.
Integrity, kindness, and courage of conviction are the daily standard — modeled by every adult on campus and expected of every student.
Curiosity
We teach students how to think, not what to think.
From calculus solved at the river's edge to a student-built oyster reef filtering 50 million gallons of water a day, learning here is driven by real questions and real stakes.
Community
We prepare students for a world larger than one zip code.
With students from 15 states and 30 countries living and learning together, graduates leave with a worldview no single classroom can build.
