ABOUT CITY SCHOOL

For twenty years, City School has equipped Pre-K through 8th grade students academically, spiritually, and relationally to follow Christ and serve others. Passionate about both education and community, City School draws on the Charlotte Mason tradition of a liberal arts education that is for everyone. We offer students a strong foundation in academics, grounded in living books and the practice of narration. We seek to cultivate the will by helping students orient their affections toward Christ through experience of the good, true, and beautiful. We strive to embody Kingdom values and priorities by making this Christ-centered education accessible to all, breaking down the financial, academic and geographic barriers to traditional private school education. We expect and embrace failure, struggle, and opportunities to honor each other in a diverse community. We seek educators and staff who will expand and carry this vision forward with humility and grace.
