About
Christopher Academy offers an exceptional learning environment, tailored to the individual child from ages 2-1/2 to Grade One. With homelike classrooms, the Montessori Method is filled with hands-on materials, each with a lesson to learn and a problem to solve. Our students enjoy a prepared environment designed to recognize and propel each child to learn, to grow, to achieve at the most appropriate pace to the best of his or her own ability.
