Corpus Christi School

The mission of Corpus Christi School is to foster the development of the whole person.
Our mission at Corpus Christi School is both privilege and challenge.
It is privilege in that it calls us to partner with Christ in sharing the message of the gospel, a message of hope and unconditional love.
Our mission is challenge in that the very gospel values it lives and shares find a counterculture response in a society often dominated by consumerism, waste, and by neglect of the poorest among us.
We strive to provide a school environment permeated with the gospel values of love and freedom. The inclusion of religious art works and symbols, while not fundamental in themselves, actually points the way to what is in essence fundamental, namely faith in Christ.
The transition since Vatican II from the Catholic school as institution to the Catholic school as community is evident at Corpus Christi.
Every person directly involved in Corpus Christi School is a part of this community, this family.

Corpus Christi athletics emphasize sportsmanship and skill, while our arts programs encourage historic knowledge and participation. Our focus on social and emotional learning helps students build self-confidence, self-discipline and respect for each other.
  • Ultimately we measure ourselves by the strength of our students` character. We develop young people who proactively give of themselves to improve the lives of others and who graduate prepared and committed to improve our world.
