Corpus Christi Elementary/Middle School is having an open house and school tour on Tuesday, November 19 from 8:30 to 10 a.m. RSVP (310) 454-9411.
“We have been very happy with the education, growth of our children and leadership skills they are learning in Catholic Education,” a parent wrote CTN. “We feel like we would be doing a disservice to the community by not getting the word out because Corpus School and Corpus community have been so good for our family.”
The school, was established on September 27, 1951, by six members of the Sisters of St. Louis, a religious order founded in France during the 1800’s.
More than 70 years later the school continues to serve students in kindergarten through eighth grade and is inspired by the Sisters of St. Louis whose motto, “Sint Unum – May all be One” calls us to grow towards oneness with God and all of creation.
The school offers fall, winter and spring sports for boys and girls.
There is a strong visual art program, which prepares students for art and art history courses in high school giving a strong background in art application, art history, and art theory. Students learn personal expression through art production; creative problem solving; recognition of the role and importance of art and artists in society, culture, and history; critical assessment of art works from aesthetic and cultural perspectives; and technical processes, as well as developing fine motor skills, confidence, and a personal sense of accomplishment.
Students learn to develop a love, understanding, and appreciation of music. During the elementary years, a comprehensive music program involves singing, moving, listening, playing, describing and creating.
Students can compete annually against more than 100 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Junior High Academic Decathlon. To make the team, students must be on the Honor Roll and the selection process include STAR scores, GPA, prior subject expertise, work habits and behavior, and commitment to other school activities.
During their years at Corpus, students develop an understanding of the need for social justice, compassion and leadership.
