Canterbury School is an independent, college-preparatory school. The High school is arranged around a courtyard which is used for outdoor study and collaboration, art exhibitions, and musical performances. Phase I included a 3-story classroom building in which the 3rd story is almost entirely devoted to the Sciences, a one-story Administration Building, and a high one-story Music/Drama Building. A 3-story Classroom Building and a Performing Arts Building located adjacent to the Music/Drama Building was added in Phase II.
