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.
Events

Choir

Choral music education at Canterbury School helps students find and share their voice, whether they're on the stage, in the classroom or exploring the world.

Through participation in the choral program, students learn techniques of exceptional singing, music literacy, teamwork and confidence. And, we offer performance opportunities that foster personal creativity, expression and social development.

LOWER SCHOOL

Students in Grades 2 – 4 are invited to become members of the Canterbury Children’s Choir. Under the direction of Jimmy Mitchell, singers rehearse the elements of music and vocal production in our Wednesday morning rehearsals. Performance skills are reinforced and demonstrated at all-school convocations, the Spring Luncheon, and annual “Canterbury Christmas Concert.”

MIDDLE SCHOOL

HIGH SCHOOL

At the High School level, students may join the Concert Choir, which is an elective course. The Concert Choir performs choral music from a variety of styles and time periods, and sight singing and the development of vocal skills and techniques are stressed.

Advanced vocalists may audition for the Chamber Choir. This group performs college-level music at school, in concerts, and in the community.
