The central ingredient to success at Canterbury School is a child’s insatiable desire to learn and try new things.  With support from their home environment and the expertise of our faculty, Canterbury students take advantage of the abundant opportunities for personal growth on our school campus.  Students also learn from each other, which is why we carefully craft the makeup of each class to provide an eclectic mix of talents, backgrounds, and perspectives.

Canterbury School brings together exceptionally creative, inquiring minds from a variety of ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds throughout Contra Costa County and beyond.   We seek to create a nurturing and challenging environment that promotes academic, social, and emotional growth for highly motivated students from Kindergarten through the eighth grade. 

During time of enrollment, we get to know your child and your family throughout the admission process.  Our high level of professionalism and personal interaction reflects the kind of relationship you will have with our faculty and staff if you decide to enroll your child at Canterbury School.  All of us look forward to informing you about the programs Canterbury has to offer and helping you make the best educational choice for your child.
