One of New Zealand's oldest schools - and also one of its most progressive - Christ's College is an independent boarding and day school for boys.It is an historic part of Canterbury's original settlement, where the most up to date education takes place against a backdrop of glorious heritage and tradition. Our highly qualified, talented and committed academic staff are supported by forward thinking governance and a dedicated team of professional administrators, to ensure every possible opportunity is provided for our boys and young men.Throughout its long and rich history, Christ's College has maintained its foundation in Christian values, insisting its boys live lives underpinned by honesty, a love of learning, respect, spirituality, justice and compassion. Our Chaplain guides the spiritual life of the school, following the broad ethos of Anglicanism, and recognising the multi-denominational environment that exists in the community.We expect all our boys to work hard and to play hard, to leave academically qualified to the very limit of their potential, and to be fulfilled in all their other endeavours. Above all, to be honest, generous and dependable young men, confident in themselves and reliable companions to others. There was never a parent who wished for any less.Our website has much of interest for all members of the Christ's College community dispersed throughout New Zealand and throughout the world. We extend a particularly warm welcome to those who may be considering applying to join the school.
