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.

Special Events

From black tie galas to golf tournaments to trivia nights, Canterbury School takes great pride in our traditions and annual events. Meant to bring together parents, alumni, teachers and friends, we hope you will join us for many of the events throughout the year and years to come!

LAUGHING CAVALIER

TRIVIA NIGHT

CAVALIER OPEN

Our Cavalier Open Golf Tournament supports major purchases for the athletic department, and it helps underwrite training and professional development opportunities for our coaches. The event has funded scoreboards, scoring tables and sound systems for the High School and Middle School gyms, padding under the baskets, soccer goals and more.

The tournament offers you the opportunity to invite colleagues, friends and family for a fun filled day of golf while supporting a great facility project for the Canterbury School community.
