Tucked
alongside the Rappahannock, Christchurch School's
peaceful 120-acre campus is a rare find. Boasting
among its graduates Pulitzer Prize winners William
Styron and Lewis Puller, Christchurch was founded
in 1921 by the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia.
It is a college preparatory boarding school for
boys and coeducational day school for grades 8-12
and post-graduate.
In the small, welcoming atmosphere, students comfortably
develop both existing and new strengths. Lush
athletic fields provide the backdrop for wholesome
competition, and a unique marine science program
maximizes on the school's proximity to both river
and Chesapeake Bay. The school offers strong AP
and learning skills programs, daily extra help,
and supervised evening study. For information
