About Canterbury

An education that
shapes the whole child.

At Canterbury, learning is guided by a commitment to developing both intellect and character, built with intention at every level. Our motto:

To Learn, To Love, To Serve: To Live, reflects a belief that education should prepare students for lives marked by curiosity, compassion, and purpose.

As a preschool through 8th grade Episcopal school, Canterbury creates an environment where students are known, supported, and encouraged to grow into confident individuals who contribute meaningfully to their communities. Through strong relationships, engaging academics, and leadership opportunities, students develop the skills and values that shape who they become.

Where growth goes beyond academics.

Canterbury believes education should nurture the full development of each child. Academic challenge is balanced with opportunities for creativity, collaboration, leadership, and reflection, helping students grow into capable and thoughtful individuals.

Our Episcopal identity encourages students to ask questions, explore ideas, and develop respect for diverse perspectives. Values such as kindness, inclusiveness, and service are woven throughout daily school life, shaping how students learn and interact with others.

Because Canterbury serves students through 8th grade, leadership opportunities are not reserved for the future—they are experienced now. Older students take on meaningful roles within the community, gaining confidence and learning the responsibility that comes with being looked up to by younger peers.

Graduates leave Canterbury prepared for rigorous high school environments and equipped with the habits of mind and character that support lifelong learning.

A place to learn and grow.
