Dr. Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne founded St. Christopher's School in 1911 as The Chamberlayne School.[6][5] On June 11, 1920, a system of church schools was established by the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, at which time The Chamberlayne School was renamed St. Christopher's School.[6]
The campus includes frame buildings from the era of its founding as well as brick buildings added in the second–quarter of the 20th–century.[5] The campus became a Virginia Landmark on December 5, 2001, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 2002.[5]
StudentsEdit
As of 2022, the student population is 938.[3] The students are all male and are 63% White, 11% Asian, 9% African American, 8% Hispanic, 6% Multiracial, and 0% Native American and Pacific Island.[3][4]
St. Christopher's includes junior kindergarten through 12th grade.[3] It offers more than 25 Advanced Placement courses.[4] A program of coordination with nearby St. Catherine's School allows a broader selection of courses at the Upper School level, taught in coeducational classes on both campuses. After graduating, 100% of its students attend a four–year college.[3]
Niche ranks the school as the number two all-boys high school and the number 8 K through grade twelve school in Virginia.[3]
Student lifeEdit
AthleticsEdit
St. Christopher's School belongs to two athletic associations, the Virginia Prep League and the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (VISAA).[7] St. Christopher's has longstanding athletic rivalries with Benedictine High School, Collegiate School, and Woodberry Forest School.
The wrestling program, considered one of the best in Virginia, held a streak of thirteen consecutive Prep League and state VISAA championships.[8]
