St. Christopher School

The teachers at St.Christopher are amazing. Every teacher is credentialed, hardworking, dedicated and passionate. An added bonus is the St. Chris community of teachers, parents and students. St. Chris graduates who graduated from high school this year will be attending MIT and Stanford, plus many other amazing colleges in the fall.

Teachers are not top quality, in fact this school has been known to hire teachers without a teaching credential in past years.

My son is a graduate of St. Christopher School and I couldn't be happier about the education he received there. The administration and teachers are knowledgable, compassionate, and experienced. The school community offers a variety of ways to become involved in the life of the school and to allow your voice to be heard. If I had it to do over again, I would choose St. Christopher in a heartbeat!

Things are going downhill. Good teachers continue to leave the school, leaving behind an atmosphere of discontent and discouragement. It's a shame...

be careful before you enroll your child into this school. if your child does not fit into the 'box' they do not have the talent to help your child.

I think it does a wonderful job of instilling a love of learning in its pupils as well as a sense of caring about the larger community.

Graduating 8th graders consistently admitted into top high schools in area. Teachers, as anywhere, vary .... but the good ones here are very good. These teachers dedicate much time above and beyond the 8:00-3:00 to the social, athletic, and spiritual development of these children.

St. Chris offers some positive and some negative. The negative being :large class sizes, teaching to the middle of the road student, little diversity of teaching methods, low in math, science, and writing areas. Many seek outside tutoring help. It's strengths are in it's community and sports.

The new principal has brought renewed enthusiasm and energy to the campus. A variety of newer and younger teachers are both popular and respected. The students are a happy, spirited, and hard-working bunch. The students leave extremely well-prepared for the rigors of the top private high schools in the valley. There are extremely large classes, and parents need to remain involved to assist teachers in any academic and behavioral issues.

St. Christopher is an excellent Catholic School. Graduating 8th graders are exceptionally well suited for success in high school and beyond. The school focuses on educating the whole child and the students as a whole are very supportive of one another and respectful to adults. There is little ethnic diversity and no religious diversity, as all of the families are parishioners of St. Christopher Catholic Church. Because the school receives far more applicants for entrance than there are openings, applicants must be prioritized. As a devout Catholic, I am very glad my children attend such an excellent Catholic school. Sometimes there are openings in upper grades; it's worth checking.
