Financial aid grants are awarded to students having demonstrated financial need, deserving character and academic potential. New students must qualify for admission to the school prior to consideration for financial aid. Because our financial aid budget is limited, it is in the family's best interest to apply early. Students of all abilities have an opportunity to play competitive sports such as football, soccer, cross country, wrestling, basketball, swimming, weightlifting, indoor soccer, tennis, golf, baseball, and lacrosse. In addition to a full day of classes and athletics, students find time to participate in a wide variety of other activities including, drama and chorus productions, the school newspaper, yearbook, student government, music lessons.
All social activities are available for both day and boarding students.
Overseas travel opportunities are scheduled during Spring Break. Back to top Community Outreach Students are encouraged and sponsored by faculty, to undertake community service projects such as Habitat for Humanity, Adopt a Highway, and river cleanup expeditions. Christchurch students have volunteered their time for tutoring, coaching Special Olympics, and shopping for Christmas Friends. Parents of all students are welcome and encouraged to have international boarding students in their homes for weekends and holidays. This provides an opportunity to share their family traditions with others from around the world.
