Your child isn't average. Their education shouldn't be either.
St Chris is a co-educational independent school for children aged 3–18 in Letchworth Garden City, where every child is valued as an individual.
We believe every child has their own strengths, interests and ambitions. Our nurturing community, inspiring teachers and personalised approach create an environment where students are supported to grow in confidence, discover their passions and achieve their full potential.
Parents often tell us that their children come to life at St Chris. They find their voice, develop confidence and become excited about learning.
From the classroom to the stage, the swimming pool to the forest school, every experience is designed to help young people explore who they are and what they can achieve.
Join us for an Open Event and experience the St Chris difference for yourself. Meet our teachers, hear from our students, explore our facilities and discover a school where individuality is celebrated and every child is encouraged to thrive.
Come and see how an education built around your child can inspire them to become the very best version of themselves.
