St. Christopher's School Reviews
Rating 4.19 out of 5 26 reviews
Our son joined St. Christopher's in 8th grade and even though it was an adjustment and we questioned our move from time to time - we are SO happy we stayed. He loves it there and we love that he loves going to school everyday. The faculty roots for your child, they uplift them and really know each one individually. You always see the headmaster walking down the halls, hanging with the boys and chatting with them about their weekends. They are so supportive of these boys and never say "boys will be boys" which we have seen and heard in prior schools. They are just unique in their academics and talents, they know how to push boys into becoming the best version of themselves. Coming from an ethnic background and knowing they don't have a ton of diversity - he has never felt left out. In fact, there is a huge initiative to bring in different races and cultures into the school and we see it happening - St. Christopher's is all action. They take boys seriously while having fun.
I have been so impressed with the administration, faculty and staff of St. Chris over these past two years through the very difficult Covid era. When the school shut down in March of 2020, as the rest of America did, the school pivoted overnight to a distance learning model. Within two days, my son was getting assignments from his second-grade teacher and within the week his class was all gathering on Zoom each morning.
Sure, there were bumps along the way. But I appreciated the school's drive to bring as much normalcy to their students as possible. In fall of 2020, while many other schools were still trying to figure out how to START a distance learning program, St. Chris was safely conducting in-person instruction, five days a week. It was more than just having deep pockets to be able to take on the additional cost of making that happen... it was also that the institution took on a proactive, problem-solving role in the midst of an educational crisis.

Overall, amazing students, teachers, and campus. Perfect for anyone, if you have the funding and ability to go. The school itself blends brotherhood into the community perfectly, and with the honor code there is a promotion to keep you and your brothers safe on campus.
