Christopher provides a general academic program for Kindergarten through Eighth and a special education program for students with intellectual disabilities and/or physical disabilities. Special education students are educated along with their non-disabled peers in a caring and inclusive community. We strive to offer a high quality instructional program with a strong social and emotional foundation for all students. Our school mission is "Reach All, Teach All, Include All." We offer a TBE program for multi-lingual learners. We are a choice school on GoCPS for general education students. Students for our cluster program are placed by the Office for Students with Disabilities.
