Canterbury School is dedicated to academic excellence
within a caring and supportive community emphasizing
character, leadership, and service.

Canterbury School’s 60-year history is rooted in the leadership, generosity, and vision of those who came before us, donors, educators, volunteers, and community members who laid the foundation for the school we know today. Thanks to their dedication, Canterbury has grown into a highly respected institution, known for preparing students for success in college and life.
Since welcoming our first faculty member in 1964, Canterbury has remained steadfast in its commitment to academic excellence. Our exceptional educators have long nurtured each student’s unique potential, fostering a culture of curiosity, critical thinking, and personal growth. They challenge, support, and celebrate the diverse learning journeys of our students every day.
Today, Canterbury’s mission, to inspire academic excellence, leadership, character, and service, is reflected in the meaningful contributions of our graduates across the globe. As we honor our legacy, we look ahead with purpose and optimism, shaping the next 60 years of learning, leadership, and impact.
Strategic Plan 2025-2030
Building on the foundation established by our 2020–2025 strategic plan, we now embrace purposeful expansion, innovation, and a continued commitment to excellence. This plan reflects the voices of our entire community. Insights came from more than 200 members through a survey and 13 meetings. A Board of Trustees committee provided oversight, and a Planning Committee of faculty, staff, trustees, students, and parents shaped the plan, ensuring a shared vision for Canterbury’s future. This plan will be reviewed quarterly to ensure a responsible, forward-looking course.
