"The focused attention that the teachers gave to my daughter starting when she entered Kindergarten really helped to improve her reading skills in the early grades. The small class size at St. Christopher's also provides the best environment for learning."
"St. Christopher School has been a wonderful foundation for our four children's education. While our two youngest children are still attending the school, we continue to value the moral and academic education that this school provides. The investment that we have made in our children's education has paid off immensely for our family."
Mike & Kathy Giantomaso, Parents of 6th and 8th Graders
"St. Christopher's School is where both our children attend. We not only feel that the school is teaching them educationally, but it's also a very nice social environment for them to grow and make wonderful memories with friends, which they have acquired throughout their time here. The teachers, staff and clergy are very caring and conscientious, and their primary goal is not to let any of the children in the school slip through the cracks and be that "child left behind". They truly make every child feel like they are special and one of their own. The examples they set and moral values they teach our children and other students is something that most schools do not have. Plenty of the teachings that our children are receiving from St. Christopher's is not just getting them through the basics of education, but instills knowledge in them on so many levels that will help them in the future. We are both happy we enrolled our children in St. Christopher's School in Somerton, which is also a great community to live."
Diane and Tom Sileo, Parents of 3rd and 8th Grade Sudents
"Without all of the wonderful teachers at St. Christopher School, I wouldn’t be where I am today. They helped me to achieve academic excellence and I even received the Josephine C. Connelly Achievement Award which recognizes 8th grade students who strive to realize their full academic and human potential and who demonstrate the morals and values of a good Catholic education as well as service to their community. The award will help towards my tuition for all four years at an Archdiocesan high school. I was also active in the CYO athletics program – I played softball and basketball. Many students have become my good friends and I plan to stay connected to them as I move on to high school and beyond."

"The religious teachings at St. Christopher School taught me to be respectful to everyone around us. I especially liked First Friday Mass and seeing how all of our students came together in praise. I was in a leadership role as a Student Council member and it taught me to open up, be myself and to speak up about school issues. I also helped give tours to new students and their families which stirred up lots of good memories as I shared all the great things about St. Christopher School. As a Peer Helper, I tutored First Graders in reading and could see firsthand their progress and excitement for books. I played CYO sports and learned that teamwork is so important to reach a goal. And of course I loved the teachers who inspired us to excel every day and to learn new skills."Kada McGovern, Class of 2015
"My education at St. Christopher School helped me to develop as a person…I’m braver, stronger and smarter. I participated in the Young Hero’s Club which empowers students in the areas of leadership, civic engagement, social justice and critical thinking. My leadership skills grew as I helped younger students on projects. Last year, we focused on animal abuse and this year we created new games for students to play outside at lunch. I was also part of the SWAT technology club and volunteered my time to fix computers and to learn more about how they work. When I came to St. Christopher School in 6th grade, I was an average student. Now I’m advanced and was accepted into a prestigious high school because of my high grades. So I’m thankful that my teachers helped me to achieve educational excellence and that they prepared me so that I’ll have a great start as I enter high school."Eben Biju, Class of 2015
"I continued in the family tradition of getting a St. Christopher School education. My dad and two older sisters also went to St. Chris. I believe in the Catholic faith and attend Mass on Sundays. My teachers were always available to give me one on one support when I needed it. Because of my excellent academics, I was inducted into the National Honor Society. You need to have a grade point average of 93 or higher. This Society for older students promotes service and leadership and helps us to develop character and to encourage good citizenship. As a Peer Helper, I tutored young kids to find new ways to learn and read better. I played CYO baseball and learned about teamwork and leadership both on and off the field. I’ve made many good friends here…we have fun and help each other during tough times. Even though I’m the only student moving onto Holy Ghost Prep, I’ll continue to stay in touch with my St. Christopher friends because they will always be my lifetime friends!"
