St. Christopher School: Where Catholic values, service, excellence, and community are shared with all by loving God, studying hard, and being kind to each other.

Welcome to our school! Saint Christopher School is located in the city of Rocky River, Ohio. In addition to our Preschool, we currently have 205 students in Kindergarten through Grade 8. All teaching staff members are certified by the State of Ohio and are committed to student success. All employees and volunteers who have contact with students undergo thorough screening, including background checks through the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation & Identification (BCI&I).  For complete information on screening policies, see the Policy for the Safety of Children in Matters of Sexual Abuse section 1.2 (p.3).

Students at our school receive an outstanding Catholic Education. Daily religion classes help them to learn about our Catholic Faith and grow spiritually.  Also, students have many opportunities to put their faith into action and share it with others. Prayer is incorporated throughout the school day. In all grades, students help plan and participate in liturgies, prayer services, and class retreats. Students in grade two participate in sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. All students participate in a variety of service projects throughout the year.

St. Christopher School follows the Diocese of Cleveland’s Graded Course of Study, which is aligned to standards approved by the Ohio Department of Education. Our school offers Art, Music, Physical Education and Computer Class to all grades. Spanish is offered to students in grades 4-8. St. Christopher School has outstanding technology resources. All students also have a weekly STREAM/Enrichment class. Every student has access to their own Chromebook or I Pad, and students in grades 6-8 may take their Chromebooks home to complete school assignments. To support students with special needs we offer speech services, intervention specialists, and have a school psychologist on staff.

At St. Christopher School we are building a foundation that lasts a lifetime. Rigorous academics and an emphasis on Catholic faith formation instill in our students skills and values that will help them to be successful in high school and beyond.  We hope, if you are interested in having your child attend our school, that you will take the opportunity to find out more about all we can offer.
