Canterbury Christian School

🦋 Butterfly Joy 🦋 Every spring our kindergarten students enjoy watching the process of metamorphosis as they raise caterpillars in their classroom, watch them form their chrysalis, and finally emerge into Painted Lady Butterflies. Kindergarteners then learn the importance of gentleness and care for even the smallest of creatures as they hold and observe their butterflies before releasing them into nature.

**Meet Our Canterbury Leadership & Teachers**

At Canterbury School, each grade is led by a dedicated classroom teacher who serves as the primary instructor and mentor for that year. Because we believe education is formative—not fragmented—students benefit from consistent, experienced leadership, daily accountability, and a stable classroom culture.

Our 6th and 7th grade students engaged in an interdisciplinary exploration of science and art this week. 🌻🎨📚
In the garden, students planted sunflowers to study plant life cycles, responsibility, and environmental stewardship 🌱🔬. In the classroom, they examined historical portraiture and reinterpreted George Washington through bold “color pop” compositions 🖌️🇺🇸, blending visual arts with American history.

These projects reflect our commitment to experiential learning—where creativity, critical thinking, and academic inquiry grow side by side ✨🎓.

Our Headmaster, Fr. Steve Macias, will once again be participating in the Walk for Life 2026 to support RealOptions Obria Medical Clinics, a local pro-life medical ministry serving mothers, babies, and families.

We would like to invite the whole Canterbury community to join us — through walking, running, praying, sharing, or donating.

Your support makes a meaningful difference right here in the Bay Area.

Saying goodbye is never easy—especially when it’s to family. 💙
Canterbury is more than a school; it’s a community, a home, a family. Over the past 5 years, the Kurniawan family has been such a special part of our Canterbury story, and we will miss them more than words can say.
As you begin this new chapter in Indonesia, know that you’ll always have a place here with us. Once Canterbury, always Canterbury. 🌍✈️
Wishing you every happiness and adventure ahead. 💫

Clear tones, careful hands, and joyful hearts. 🔔
Our handbell ensemble filled the chapel with beauty, discipline, and praise—students learning to listen, lead, and serve together through music.

Facts don’t form a child. Character does.
Our Classical approach trains students to use knowledge rightly by following Christ and living the virtues.

Dear Canterbury Families + Friends,

Each year at Canterbury, I am reminded of what a remarkable community God is building here. What began as a very small school with a bold vision has become a thriving, joyful, disciplined, and deeply Christian environment where children flourish in wisdom, virtue, and faith.

To help us continue this work, a generous donor has pledged to match every gift up to $15,000 through December 31. Your end-of-year contribution will go twice as far toward strengthening our faculty, improving our classrooms, and building an enduring Christian classical institution for the Bay Area.

Your support directly fuels:
• Healthy enrollment growth and long-term stability
• Teacher development, formation, and retention
• Improvements to the beauty, quality, and functionality of our campus

As you consider your year-end giving, we hope every family will join us in this effort. Even a small contribution, when combined with others, makes a meaningful difference.

In Christ,
Rev. Steven Macias
Headmaster

📚✨ Little eyes are always watching, little ears are always listening.
When parents and teachers take time to read aloud every day, they do more than tell stories — they build imagination, empathy, and curiosity. 💭❤️
In a world where screens often take center stage, this simple act becomes a superpower — setting young minds apart and keeping alive the lost art of reading. 🌟

🍂🧺 Our kindergarten friends took a Thankfulness Nature Walk today! 🌳✨ They explored the great outdoors, listened to the sounds of nature, and collected little treasures — colorful leaves, acorns, and flowers— to fill the beautiful cornucopias they decorated themselves. 🎨🍁
