With over a century of rich history, St. Christopher’s has the reputation as a national and international leader in the education of boys, grades JK-12.

St. Christopher’s prides itself on developing the character, wisdom and life skills required to succeed in college and to make a positive impact as a leader in a rapidly changing world. Its non-traditional curriculum incorporates the concept of “educating the whole boy;” this approach is woven into the fabric of the boy’s experience and sets St. Christopher’s apart from other independent schools for boys. The School is accredited by the Virginia Association of Independent Schools (VAIS) and holds membership through the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the National Association of Episcopal Schools (NAES) and the International Boys’ Schools Coalition (IBSC).
