Canterbury School was founded in 1993 as a co-educational Episcopal day school and serves students from preschool through 8th grade. Our preschool-8th grade structure concentrates resources on the education of young children; our small size means every child is individually known and loved; we educate the whole child: mind, body and spirit; and as an Episcopal school, we have a tradition of strong academics in an environment that values diversity.
