Overview
On a boarding school campus there is always something going on and someone to do it with. With 215 teenage boys in grades 8-12 from a broad spectrum of backgrounds attending Christ School, there is constant activity ...a lot of good work and a lot of hard play goes on here.
The village-like campus has several different activity centers. The student residences have their own house-centered activities and intramural sports teams, but the new Patrick Beaver Student Center is the heart of most communal activity. This is a place where you can relax, play ping pong, foosball or pool, watch a movie, or eat a pizza with friends. When it is time for quiet reflection, there are places for that in the century-old chapel or the 500-acre wooded campus.
CS Snow - New Club for 20082007/2008 was the inaugural year for Christ School's seven-member Ski/Snowboard Team, CS Snow. The team consisted of both skiers and snowboarders in all grade levels.
