I wholeheartedly recommend Corpus Christi to families in search of a nurturing environment that combines strong values with a comprehensive education. Our children thrive academically while also developing strong moral values and social skills. We appreciate the wide range of athletic and extracurricular activities available, as well as the supportive community of families at Corpus Christi.

We started at Corpus during the pandemic. We have seen our children thrive academically since with transferred. We have kept our kids at Corpus to ensure they continue to thrive and be their best.

My favorite part about Corpus is how invested the faculty are in each child and the welcoming community. The secretary knows the names of every student, parent, and faculty member. Meanwhile, the principal stays familiar with each class's weekly curriculum and will openly talk about what each child is learning that week. when she sees them in the hallway. Can't recommend Corpus enough!

I have 2 children at Corpus Christi School and we have had a wonderful experience. Both children have been challenged academically, have thoroughly enjoyed their teachers, and have made great friends. The environment has been welcoming. The opportunities to try different activities such as choir, band, Reading Olympics, and a variety of sports has provided plenty of chances for my kiddos to see what they might be interested in. Most importantly, my children are very happy at Corpus.

The public school failed my children during COVID-19. We switch to Corpus for fear of another year of inconsistent virtual schooling. I am confident that if there were another public health crisis, the Catholic schools would do as they did before, and make sure that our children received in-person education, as they should. We have been very impressed with the teachers. They seem to either have a stake in the school because they are school parents, or are answering a calling from God. I have had teachers call and respond to my emails consistently after hours on a regular basis. They truly go above and beyond. One of our first teachers at Corpus even identified an issue that we would have thought would have be picked up on in public school; this teacher's persistence and support started a chain reaction that led to getting us the help we needed. I think my children would all say that their favorite part of Corpus is prayer partners. They are all paired up with younger/older grades, including preschool. They develop relationships, sit together during liturgy, and do fun things together. It's great to see how excited they get to see each other at the many schools and Home & School activities. I think my children are all challenged academically in an appropriate way. We like the ability to see what's going on at school through daily homework. Corpus is much different than the Catholic school that I grew up with. There are many more supports available, such as MCIU support for reading and math, MCIU school counseling, and honors programming. There are opportunities to see children during the school day at liturgies, and volunteer during the day. When I pay my tuition for Corpus, my husband and I feel that it is money well spent.

Corpus has provided a wonderful sense of community for my family and I. We have been very pleased with the faculty who are all there because they want to be. I'm very happy with our decision to send our daughter to Corpus. Also, the older children are extremely respectful to their parents and the little ones. They always greet our daughter with high fives and a smile.
