A history of excellence Established in 1850, Christ’s College is an Anglican school founded on Christian principles, its history inextricably linked with the European settlement of Christchurch and the Canterbury region. College moved to its present site in 1856, putting down roots in the central city, growing and developing to build an exceptional learning environment. Today, we are proud stewards of our heritage and traditions, but we also look to the future. Being a great school is about providing the best possible education. It is about what happens both within and outside the classroom, and the sports, cultural, pastoral care, service and co-curricular activities that complement and support the academic programme. College delivers an innovative and inspirational educational experience, designed to guide our boys as they transition through adolescence and become young men, ready to set out and embrace a world of opportunities.
Our Vision Christ’s College will be a vibrant school community that educates boys to be men of virtuous character who make a positive contribution to society.
