Athletics
Every Student Makes the Team
At Canterbury, every student makes the team. The interscholastic sports program encourages individual participation and achievement by giving every student an opportunity to learn and play sports competitively. This policy of inclusion is at the core of Canterbury athletics.

Support
A Community of Philanthropy
As an independent school, we design our own programs and curriculum and operate without reliance on local, state or federal taxes. Canterbury School relies on tuition income, Canterbury Fund contributions, endowment income and other fundraising activities to support our thriving college preparatory environment.

College Fair

We are excited to relaunch Canterbury School’s College Fair program in 2024, following a multi-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

Our college fair is scheduled for Friday, April 26, 2024. We invite college representatives to save this date and to expect an official invitation in late fall 2023. We plan for our program to run from mid-morning to early afternoon. Please contact Brian Estrada, Director of College Counseling, at bestrada@canterburyschool.org with any questions about the Canterbury School College Fair.

We have coordinated this fair date with Culver Academies, which is planning a college fair on Thursday, April 25 from 11:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Please contact Megan Burch at megan.burch@culver.org for more information on Culver’s event.
