About our school
At Christ our Holy Redeemer, we believe that every student has the potential to achieve success, and it is our mission to provide a safe, supportive, and challenging environment where learning thrives.
We are committed to creating a nurturing learning environment that is not only safe and supportive, but also grounded in the latest research about how students learn best.
Our approach is guided by the Science of Learning – evidence based practices that help us understand how the brain develops, how memory works, and how motivation and mindset impact success. From fostering strong teacher-student relationships to using strategies that promote deep understanding and long-term retention, we are continually refining our teaching to meet the needs of all learners.
We also know that education works best when it’s a true partnership. Families are a vital part of our school community, and we deeply value the collaboration between home and school. When parents and educators work together—sharing insights, supporting learning at home, and maintaining open communication—students thrive.
Our dedicated teachers and staff work tirelessly to foster not only academic excellence, but also the values of respect, teamwork and resilience. At Christ Our Holy Redeemer, all staff have a commitment to provide a culture of child safety, including zero tolerance of child abuse.
