Admission
Welcome to Canterbury!
If you're ready for a transformational journey filled with challenging academics, purposeful growth, and an engaged community life, you've come to the right place. You've found more than a school. You've found your new home on our hilltop.
Canterbury isn't a one-size-fits-all high school experience; it's a world of unlimited opportunities designed around you. It's your unique journey, tailored to spark your intellectual curiosity and inspire your personal growth.
Your teachers are not just educators but mentors dedicated to meeting you where you are and championing your greatest potential. Whether it's in the classroom or through athletics, arts, or service activities, your voice and actions contribute to a vibrant, values-centered community.
All that said, we don't want you to simply take our students'
word for it. We invite you to begin your discovery of Canterbury today!
Take the first step in your educational journey by submitting an inquiry form.

There’s no substitute for experiencing our campus—and community—in person to gain a firsthand understanding of our school.

Application Process
Every Canterbury student arrives on our hilltop with a story all their own. They are a remarkable blend of different backgrounds, interests, and ambitions, but they also have a lot in common.
If any of these sound like you, then you're already one of us.
Intellectually Curious
Canterbury students are eager to explore the world around them. They're not satisfied with surface-level understanding; they dive deep, question the status quo, and seek knowledge passionately.
Community-Driven
At Canterbury, students like you deeply value community. Recognizing that your personal growth is linked to the collective good, you are part of a community that's hands-on with projects, events, and drives, all amplifying a sense of togetherness and shared purpose.
Values-Oriented
At Canterbury, you are among peers who value honesty, understanding, and mutual respect. You are part of a community that aims to make a positive mark, always staying true to a moral compass and the desire to put others first.
Passionate and Driven
At Canterbury, there's a fire in students like you. Whether it's in the classroom, on the field, on stage, or serving others, you are part of a community that's all-in, always pushing boundaries and chasing their passions to the fullest.
Globally Aware
At Canterbury, you are part of a vibrant mix of backgrounds and cultures. You quickly gain a broader worldview, learn to embrace differences, stay open to new ideas, and truly value the depth different cultures bring to the table.
Leaders and Team Players
At Canterbury, students like you step in and step up, leading the charge in many school activities. But while they're at the forefront, they also understand that real leadership is about collaboration and lifting up those around them.
