Academics

Academic excellence is just one area that sets Canterbury apart. We are committed to offering education of the highest quality. We strive to develop knowledgeable, inquiring, resourceful and creative young people who are socially responsible, emotionally well balanced, physically fit and spiritually awakened.

The academic program provides a strong foundation for college-level work. Honors and Advanced Placement courses are offered in all academic disciplines. Following a traditional college-preparatory curriculum, the school philosophy is student-centered, which allows us the flexibility to adjust courses, clubs and programs to meet the changing needs of the student population.

Canterbury also supports experiential learning, incorporating field trips, miniterms, community service and other hands-on activities into school life to enhance classroom instruction. Both traditional yet creative in nature, our program fosters an appreciation for the arts and sciences, an awareness of other cultures and lifestyles, a refining of skills which lead to physical fitness and a sensitivity toward the variety of belief systems which make up our world.
