At Christchurch, our mission is to develop young people who pursue excellence in every area of their lives. We unite rigorous academic preparation with purposeful athletic development so students can grow as scholars, competitors, teammates, and leaders. Through high expectations, individualized support, and the discipline of sailing, we help each student-athlete balance academic, athletic, and social growth, prepare for competitive colleges, and build the confidence, independence, and character to thrive long after leaving Christchurch. The two connected systems below show how we bring this mission to life.

Recruit Overnight
Come to campus overnight, October 2nd and 3rd for the full Christchurch School experience. Prospective students will shadow current sailors through all elements of campus life. You will attend classes, the community engagement program, meals with their advisory group, and even get a chance to cheer on the Seahorse Volleyball Team in Yarborough Gymnasium. Bring a book to read during the night time study routine and live the late night dorm life with a possible cafe night. The next morning you will see some more classes and join the team during club time for a mental performance session with Coach Groen in the Board Room. After lunch you will head to the Admissions Office for an interview and to connect back with your parents.
Meanwhile, parents will tour campus with one of our student Navigators on the 2nd with a small reception at the Head of School's house with our senior faculty in the evening.
For more details or to make a reservation please contact Coach Deane, rdeane@christchurchschool.org.

Training Videos
We take a lot of video! Drones, GoPros, 360 cameras and coach's phones gather hours of footage at each practice. Sailors have the ability to review their performance as well as their teammates each day. The perspective from outside the boat helps them see what the coaches are seeing and saying. We review video as a group, but it is often most effective when a skipper and crew can analyze their movements together. The samples below are from our first day of Spring Training in 2024.
