Christopher has a great PT, OT, speech and vision therapy program. From an educational standpoint I feel it lacks in special needs education.

Went to Christopher school from 1966 to 1971 I'm so glad this school is still working. It was a great school and the PT and OT were great when I went there. It didn't matter what physical disablity you had each Attendant and teach was like your mother and treated you with respect. There ability to teach was unsurpassed back then. Just because you had a bone problem didn't mean you didn't learn the 3 R and to the highest standards. The PT department keep us moving and they supplied the best homebound teacher in all of Chicago. Thank you Christopher! for giving me the bases to get my masters in science, and to be able to cope with my disablity in the real world. I still know our school song!

I graduated from this school in 1960. It was a wonderful place then, and I am glad to know that it still is. John Kowynia
