Our primary emphasis is on the classroom a great teacher, a challenging curriculum, a vibrant sense of curiosity and creativity at work. Small classes are designed to motivate, to engage and to support students of all ages. Learning is both active and interactive, teaching both traditional and innovative. Such is the stuff of essential preparation for college, and for the life of the mind beyond school. Yet learning also occurs beyond the classroom, and Canterbury students are very busy people. They are athletes and actors and artists they are taught to be leaders in their communities as well as servants they learn to be responsible, to be respectful and to be caring. This is a community that works and works together.The fabric of our school is ultimately woven from the expectations we set, the values we cherish. Yet the texture and color of our life together emerge as relationships are built, friendships are made and commitments are established.
