It’s a commitment that lasts a lifetime.

At the heart of St. Christopher’s School, there lies a passion and a total commitment to prepare each student to excel in life, in academics, in his career and in service to the community.

It’s derived from shared beliefs and values such as academic excellence, integrity, honor and responsibility that date back to the founding of the school. The commitment is about helping boys succeed in school, but even more about helping them succeed in life. It’s a continual commitment to helping boys grow intellectually, physically and spiritually to become men of character.

It’s a commitment in which teachers and coaches care deeply about each boy, setting high standards for achievement while providing nurture and support. This commitment extends beyond the school day and beyond the school campus into the community. It’s a commitment that lasts a lifetime.

 

St. Christopher’s unique sense of community is reflected in the active involvement of parents, alumni and friends of the school, whose commitment to these shared values makes St. Christopher’s a better place.
