Academics
We are not only preparing students to excel in the classroom, but we are providing them the resources and opportunities to become self-directed, independent, and resilient learners and collaborators for life.
At Christ Church Episcopal School we offer students a unique educational experience, including International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, Advanced Placement classes, and a challenging college preparatory curriculum. We develop the whole child – body, mind, and spirit – to cultivate a lifelong love for learning.
Excellence in and out of the classroom requires strong, sustained connection, and at CCES we believe this is foundational. Dedicated teachers with imagination and high standards build strong relationships with their students through collaboration, feedback, and ongoing support.
100% of our students are accepted into a college of their choice, SAT scores consistently outpace national averages by several hundred points, and IB scores exceed world averages.
Technology & Innovation
From interactive classroom engagement to empowering students as creators of digital content, our approach emphasizes active learning over passive consumption. As technology continues to evolve, we focus on building strong foundational concepts while sparking curiosity and encouraging creative problem-solving. Through hands-on experiences, students gain the confidence and skills they need to use digital tools thoughtfully, effectively, and responsibly.
Lower School
Lower School students build a strong foundation in digital literacy through online research, productivity tools, file management, and multimedia project creation. They also begin exploring simple programming concepts, developing early coding and programming skills through age-appropriate, hands-on activities that foster creativity and critical thinking.
Middle School
Middle School students explore graphic design software, basic programming and robotics, 3D modeling and printing, podcasting, and video production.
upper school
The Upper School offers courses in digital media, computer science, robotics, pre-engineering, programming, drones, and digital electronics. Technology training, online safety, and ethical use of digital media are integrated into each division’s curriculum.
Tools for the Classroom
Academic classrooms at CCES are thoughtfully equipped with modern technology to support dynamic, focused learning. Most rooms feature wireless microphone systems to minimize distractions and enhance clarity, along with flat-panel displays or projection systems for digital instruction. Students in grades 5–11 are issued Chromebooks, giving them seamless access to digital textbooks, thousands of eBooks, research tools, and Schoology, the digital hub where students access assignments, class materials, and communicate with faculty.
Libraries
CCES has three libraries, one in each division. Our Library program is designed to support and enhance the curricular objectives of the school community and to encourage the development of students as reflective citizens and lifelong learners.The libraries are centers of learning, study, and research, enabling students to locate, retrieve, and evaluate information. The programs encourage reading for pleasure and foster a lifelong appreciation of literature. By working under the model of inquiry-based learning, the libraries support the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme and the Diploma Programme and help all of our students become critical thinkers, and skillful, responsible users of information.
