Our Anglican Identity

Christ’s College is an Anglican School for all, founded in 1850.

By the Deed of Foundation, the Bishop of Christchurch licences the Executive Principal under the statutes and canons of The General Synod of the Anglican Church of Aotearoa New Zealand and Polynesia to exercise a ministry in accordance with those statutes. In term time, students attend Chapel regularly during the week and on Sundays. Students at Christ’s College have come from many religious faiths, and none. As a community of learning we value diversity, are inclusive of difference, and champion thinking beyond strict denominational lines. In aspiring to achieve our mission of Each boy at his best we are aided and strengthened by our Anglican identity.
