Grandparents

Welcome, Canterbury Grandparents!

Grandparents hold a special place in our hearts at Canterbury. Together, we share immense pride in the many accomplishments of your grandchildren. We encourage you to join our Grandparents Circle (GPC), whose mission is to engage grandparents in the life of the school and support Canterbury’s mission to provide academic excellence within a caring and supportive community emphasizing character, leadership, and service.
 
Another advantage of joining the GPC is the chance to meet and share experiences with other Canterbury Grandparents as well as faculty and staff. Our GPC meets in person and virtually several times a year to enjoy interesting and informative guest speakers and events like our Grandparents and Grandfriends Days. 
 
Whether you live in or out of state, the GPC welcomes interested Grandparents and surrogate Grandparents to get involved, have fun, get to know one another, and participate. There are no fees to join, but you will gain opportunities to further connect with the Canterbury community.
 
If you are interested in joining the Grandparents Circle or would like to take a planning role within the GPC, please contact Jessica at jwells@canterburyfortmyers.org or 239.481.4313 ext. 230.
 
We are excited to share the magic of Canterbury with you!
