St. Christopher School

St. Christopher is a Roman Catholic school with a proud heritage, mission, and philosophy. It is a school made up of dedicated teachers, interested children, and a parent body which really cares about the nature and quality of the children's education. While no website can truly describe the excitement of learning found at St. Christopher School, we hope these pages will give you some idea of our special atmosphere.

Academics for the Mind

Our emphasis on the basics through structured, proven methods produces students who consistently rank well above national averages on standardized testing. Our dynamic staff challenges students in reading, writing, oral expression, mathematics, social studies and science. Teaching techniques tap students’ discipline and creativity, promoting the enjoyment of learning as well as mastery.

Our students also attend regular classes in music, art and physical education. Our computer laboratory and library program provide additional avenues to discover the joys of reading, research and knowledge. One recent valedictorian of a local high school cited his third grade teacher from St. Christopher School. In his address he said, “She taught me the love of learning.”

Religion for the Soul

All grades include daily instruction in religious education. Students attend Mass once a month, as well as on Holy Days of Obligation. Additional prayer services occur throughout the year. Students and parents participate in the liturgy. Our religious education goes beyond the understanding of the values taught by Jesus; it also enforces those values in the students’ everyday life. These values include respect for the teachers and one another; appreciating our differences, lending a hand when someone is in need, and encouraging one another to strive for kindness and excellence. While religious education is Catholic based, non-Catholic students profit from daily reinforcement in universal Christian values.

Keeping Education Personal

St. Christopher students total about 300.Class sizes are limited to ensure individual attention for every student. Most grades have a waiting list each year, so we encourage early application. St. Christopher School offers an all-day Kindergarten program. The Pre-Kindergarten program is half-day, with a choice of a morning or afternoon program

Uniforms for Focus

Numerous studies have proven that uniforms enhance an educational setting by “leveling the field” for all students and by helping focus their attention on the true priorities for attending school.We agree.The St. Christopher uniform offers flexibility for boys and girls, while maintaining a clean and consistent look. Girls may wear a jumper, skirt or slacks. Boys may wear a sweater over their uniform shirt. Shorts are allowed during the warmer months.
