CCS Dress Code

 Christ Church School desires to instill pride and a sense of community for our preschool and elementary school students. A simple uniform has been chosen to encourage students to interact without socioeconomic bias.  

School Logo

The colors are a gold cross on a blue field with black letters. Following are generally accepted interpretations of the significance of colors as used by the Church:

• Gold: Innocence of soul, purity, holiness of life
• Blue: Heavenly love, unveiling of truth
• Black: The Benedictines, Augustinians, Jesuits

Our shield is based upon the Christ Church shield at the Benedictine Priory of Christ Church at Canterbury. In the early days of the Christian Church, Greek and Latin words were used as symbols of our lord Jesus Christ. XPICTOC meaning Christ. The “PX” on the School shield is called a Chi Rho and is composed of the first two letters of XPICTOC.
