Our Curriculum:
School and Pre-K programs:
We believe that play is the work of childhood at St. Christopher’s Episcopal School, and that young children learn best by doing, being fully engaged and having fun. Our teachers create a multi-sensory play-based hands on approach learning environment that develops the spiritual, social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of our students. Our curriculum is designed by our teachers to create lifelong learners. Our small class sizes and low teacher-pupil ratio allow our staff to address the individual needs of each child.
