Denis Stokes, Director of Admission
Christ
School is a college preparatory school affiliated
with the Episcopal Church that provides a level of structure
and support that in some cases could be appropriate for a
graduate of an emotional growth program. The mission of Christ
School is to produce educated men of good character, helping
them to prepare for both scholastic achievement in college
and productive citizenship in adult society. The school offers
grades 8-12, enrolling students who can meet the college
preparatory work and who possess integrity, high standards,
and the ability or potential to develop and utilize judgment.
They achieve their mission through a four-fold process.
“First, and most important, we challenge and encourage each
student, in the nurturing environment of a close knit campus,
to develop academically to his maximum potential. Second,
through competitive sports, student self-governance and a
variety of extracurricular activities, we help each to develop
his physical fitness and leadership skills, and his respect
for others regardless of their origins, cultures, or beliefs.
Third, by involvement in the care of our campus home, civic
duty is learned, along with a sense of the dignity of honest
labor. Finally, through religious instruction and regular
participation in chapel activities, each of our students
learns the sustaining value of faith and spiritual growth
throughout his life.”
Both formal and informal religious instruction and participation
in chapel activities are an integral part of Christ School’s
four-fold philosophy. Each student learns the sustaining
value of faith and spiritual growth throughout his life.
Most obviously represented by chapel services and religious
instruction, it permeates many aspects of student and faculty
lives-in the classroom, in the residence halls, on the field,
in the dining, and in the work place.
Christ School has a rolling admission program and students
enter the school in the fall and at the beginning of second
semester in January. Financial aid forms are available upon
request. |
