“This is my ninth year at Corpus Christi, and I can honestly say that there has not been one day that I haven’t LOVED being here. This is a truly Catholic community, in every sense of the word, where we pray, ponder, study, and learn together as we grow closer to Christ through our virtues program, sacramental life, service and almsgiving, focusing on the infinite love God has for each of us as we seek to imitate the saints. I am not exaggerating when I say that every day spent in this school is for me heaven on earth!”
Mrs. Jeanette Hicks

“It is a joy to teach at Corpus Christi and to contribute not only to its goal of academic excellence, but to the spiritual and moral formation that gives excellence a deeper and transcendent meaning. True classical education must be both learned and lived, and any student here is certain to experience both.”
Mr. Michael Hardt

“Corpus Christi sets high goals, encourages our students to reach for them, and lovingly urges them to move on with resilience when they fail. I’m honored to be teaching here because this is one of the rare schools that really aims – through its loving, classical approach to education – to help each student become all that God intends him or her to be.“
