An endowed Merit Scholarship
Krieger Leadership Scholars
The Krieger Leadership Scholars (KLS) program is an endowed merit scholarship that honors the legacy of former Headmaster Paul Krieger.
The program dovetails with Christ School’s mission to produce educated men of good character, prepared for both scholastic achievement in college and productive citizenship in adult society. At the core of that mission are the Four Pillars—Academic Rigor, Leadership, Spirituality, and the Dignity of Manual Labor.
Who are the Krieger Leadership Scholars?
- Krieger Leadership Scholars are young men of the highest caliber who represent the ideals of Christ School in all areas of their educational experience. Selected scholars join an elite brotherhood that strive to positively impact campus and leave a legacy. Scholars should be curious, ambitious, tenacious, and ready to make an impact. Scholars should expect to not only make Christ School stronger, but to also leave this place ready for their next challenge.
