At Canterbury School, we're artists, athletes and scholars. Since 1977, Canterbury School has offered exceptional college-preparatory experiences and enriching opportunities for students’ intellectual, moral and spiritual growth. Our close-knit community of dedicated teachers and supportive families have created meaningful connections, enabling our students to flourish.
The threads of our connections are strong, varied, unique and beautiful, forming a pattern that’s clear and that extends always in new directions. Canterbury is continually adding to this rich tapestry of challenges, ideas, inspiration and potential. The mission of Canterbury School is to maximize the potential of young people by providing a challenging, enriching, and supportive learning environment in which students build the foundation for a life of purpose, passion, and meaning.
While the structure of Canterbury has changed since 1977, the school remains committed to the four founding pillars of intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual development. To that end, Canterbury has created an educational experience founded on the following set of core beliefs:
We believe our school community and its members are enriched by understanding and respecting the uniqueness in all people. Because of this, we actively seek to create an inclusive environment that emphasizes the importance of embracing our differences. We believe all voices in our community should be valued, appreciated and respected. We are committed to embracing differences in race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status, and to affirming the dignity and worth of every individual. We will support policies, programs and practices that promote the diversity of the world in which we live, that create an inclusive and evolving environment in which to teach and accept these differences, and that are consistent with our school’s mission.
Canterbury School admits students without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic. It does not discriminate in the administration of its educational policies, financial aid programs, hiring practices and other school administered programs.
Our educational program is encapsulated in the statement, “Artist. Athlete. Scholar.” These three words are deceptively simple, yet they summarize an enormous breadth of opportunities that touch upon the aesthetic, the physical, and the intellectual development of our students.
Similarly, our Chapel Program; requirements in religion, diversity and ethics; and the school’s commitment to the Positive Coaching Alliance – among many other examples – work together to form a rich, ever-present surround of attention to the development of the moral and personal aspects of our students. Who our students become as individuals is just as important to us as what they are able to accomplish.
Finally, our Signature Programs at every grade level, our regular Chapel gatherings, and service work in the greater Fort Wayne area provide shared experiences for our students that help them develop an awareness of and responsibility to the Canterbury community, and to the broader local and global communities of which they are a part. The ability to leverage their own personal development in the service of endeavors greater than themselves is our constant hope for our students as they find their places in the world.
