Enrichment

Christ Church School places a strong emphasis on traditional academics; however, the curriculum also includes enrichment programs that take students well beyond the basics. Students participate in a variety of exciting enrichment programs as a regular part of their studies. These include art, music, Spanish, physical education and access to the Science Lab and to current technology in the Library Media Technology Center (LMTC).
