Student Life
A Small Group, From Day One
Every Christchurch student, boarding or day, belongs to a small advisory group with a faculty mentor and a built-in set of friends from the very first day.
ADVISORY SYSTEM
Nobody Starts Alone
Every student at Christchurch, whether they live on campus or at home, is part of a small advisory group led by a faculty or staff member. Students are placed in a group as soon as they enroll, so every new student already has a circle of peers and a friendly table at lunch from the first day of school. Advisory groups share meals and sit together at assemblies, keeping that connection strong through all four years.
How It Works
A Group, a Mentor, and a Routine
Advisory is the small, steady part of every student's week, the same faces and the same support, year after year.
Your Peers
Advisory members help one another answer questions, solve problems, and offer the kind of advice that only comes from someone in the same boat.
Your Advisor
A faculty advisor offers guidance, holds students accountable for schoolwork and good choices, and heads off small issues before they grow.
Your Four Years
The same group stays together across all four years, sharing meals and assemblies and a connection that only deepens over time.
In Your Corner
Always an Advocate
Above everything else, an advisor is a student's advocate. No matter the circumstances, every Christchurch student has a faculty member firmly in their corner, someone who knows them well, looks out for them, and makes sure they never have to face a problem on their own.
It's all connected
