ACADEMICS

Canterbury cultivates a love of learning with an approach that encourages questioning and develops critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills. We don’t teach children what to think. We teach them how to think.

A Whole Child Education

At Canterbury, students in every grade level benefit from a challenging academic program that develops fundamental skills in reading, mathematics, writing, science, and social studies, and an enriched course of study that includes art, music, physical education, and foreign language. Learning is enhanced by state-of-the-art technology, which teachers integrate fully into classroom instruction. Our PreK-8 setting allows students at every age to take on age-appropriate leadership opportunities.

We hire teachers who love children and who are experts in their field. More than 60 percent of our faculty members have advanced degrees. Because there are about 20 students in each class, teachers are able to develop a supportive relationship with each student, providing extra help when appropriate and extra challenge when the student is ready.

Each day you make a difference and prepare students for the future. I knew Canterbury was special, but not how special until I visited other schools. There are none to compare to you.
