Welcome prospective school parents and children! Thank you for taking the time to visit our web site.

At St. Christopher School, we have a long history of excellence in Catholic education. Our school was founded in 1924 by the Franciscan Sisters. Since that time, over 4,700 students have passed through our halls. We are proud of the many achievements of our graduates and our graduates are proud of us, as evidenced by the many second and third generation students in our school, whose parents and grandparents are also graduates of St. Christopher.

In 2010, our school was selected to be a Board Initiative School under the leadership of the Archdiocese of Chicago school superintendent. The Office of Catholic Education helps in the governance of our school by providing support and resources to help our school ontinue to grow and thrive. You can read more in the Archdiocese press release.

At. St. Christopher School, we are proud of having an academic curriculum second to none. We also have a strong enrichment program, including computers, Spanish language instruction, music and drama, art, library time, athletic programs and many student organizations. What makes our school special; however, is that our academic and enrichment programs are enveloped in a Christian environment , where Christ is the center of everything that we do. At St. Christopher School, we develop the entire child - in body, mind, and soul.

We invite to you take some time and explore our web site, to learn more about us and about our programs, facilities, and staff. However, the best way to answer all of your questions, concerns, and individual needs is to arrange a personal visit of our school, where you can tour our facilities, learn about our curriculum and programs, and meet our educational staff. We invite you to attend one of our open houses or, if none of these times are convenient for you, to arrange your visit by calling us at 708-385-8776 or by using our online visit request form.

We hope to see you soon at St. Christopher School - where your future starts today!

(Note: While you are arranging your visit or waiting for the next open house, you can see some of our school by watching the video made by the band "Crete", who used our school as a backdrop for their music video.)

The Secret to Catholic Schools' Success from Fox News.

Why Catholic schools are so successful in educating children, featuring Archbishop Timothy Dolan, also on Fox News.

St. Christopher Catholic School is committed to educate each child entrusted to our care to be a spiritual member of the Catholic faith, an academically successful student, a socially responsible citizen and a life-long learner by teaching the necessary knowledge and skills within a school that fosters excellence, mutual respect, creativity and the joy of learning with an effective, caring staff in partnership with the home and community. Through our participation in the liturgical, sacramental, prayer and service life of the parish, we lead our school community to be an integral part of the larger community of St. Christopher Parish, the Archdiocese of Chicago, and the Universal Church.
