rom its inception, Christ Church School has maintained its mission
to educate and nurture the whole child in a caring, Christian
Fenvironment. Our faculty continues to go above and beyond to help
every child find success academically, spiritually, and emotionally.
Additionally, we make consistent efforts to revolutionize our teaching
methodologies. An assortment of high tech and low tech hands-on
learning tools purchased with funds raised by our Parent Teacher
Organization (PTO) support classroom maker spaces that are thought-
provoking, collaborative, and project-based. Students are immersed in
challenging activities that teach them to face complexity. Professional
development for teachers and a resolute commitment to the enhancement
of our academic program remains a priority at CCS. We continue to build a solid academic foundation by nurturing
21st century skills. These skills are sharpened through our various enrichments, including art, music, physical education,
character education, library and media. Students in our classrooms explore through curiosity, inquiry, imagination,
problem solving, collaboration, and entrepreneurial thinking. Innovative maker activities that value learning through
direct experience from creating something shareable complement the rigorous curriculum at CCS.
Today, we have the capability to give every child the tools, materials, and context to achieve their potential. The natural
inclinations of children and the power of learning by doing are fueled in the following ways:
• Fabrication Lab • STEAM Challenges • Iterative Design
• Rapid Prototyping • Coding • Programming
• Scientific Research • Collaborative Learning
Maker spaces, innovation labs (iLabs) and maker devices provide hands on experiences that were unimaginable just a few
years ago. Students can take part in challenging iterative design that inspires them to dig deeper. “We” are smarter than
“me;” collaboration on projects of intense personal interest drive the need to share ideas and lessons learned.
