Providing a quality, structured education
in a safe and loving environment
for 100 years
Fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges
SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
We believe that the distinctive purpose of Corpus Christi School is to
create a Christian educational community where culture and
knowledge
is enlightened and enlivened by faith shared among teachers,
students,
families, and others who assist in various ways.
We understand
that each child created by God is both alike and
different from each other. Each child's uniqueness
influences his/her
acceptance to the community and their learning capabilities.
In light of the
similarities among children, we strive to meet the
academic needs, to satisfy the interests, and to develop the
abilities of
each child to the fullest extent of his/her being.
Further and
foremost, our school celebrates Catholicism, modeling
our lives on Jesus Christ with the duties and
responsibilities involved in
living out his message with the joy and peace that flows from
such fidelity.
