Principal's Welcome

Welcome and thank you for visiting the website of Christ the Teacher Catholic School, the premiere diocesan regional school in Newark, Delaware.  At every grade level, from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade, our mission is to nurture the academic, spiritual, moral, social, and physical development of our students.  We strive to embrace each child as an individual who is differently-abled and we encourage an attitude of enthusiastic, compassionate, and faith-filled service.  We cultivate the knowledge and love of God and the virtues of respect, mercy, and service to all God’s people. Our pillars of Mercy, Hospitality, Service, and Excellence guide all we do here at CTTCS.

Our safe, updated, spacious campus and school building provide ample room and opportunities to support the education of the whole child.  With Christ as our model, Christian values are taught, learned, and lived by all members of the school community, preparing our students for a lifetime of service, stewardship, and responsible citizenship.  Service-learning, an integral component of a CTTCS education, extends learning beyond the classroom walls, and fosters a spirit of global respect.  Critical thinking and leadership skills are developed, preparing our students for high school and beyond.  Our students are accepted to the high schools of their choice, and since 2017 have earned well over $2.5 million in scholarship and grant offers to the high schools of their choosing.  Because of the support of our families and our faculty, our students go on to great things after leaving us.  We have approximately 1,000 alumni all over the country who have attended universities, Ivy League schools, enlisted with the military, or entered into a trade.  Our students are successful because of the foundation they received at CTTCS.

I invite you to visit Christ the Teacher Catholic School to witness the sense of community.  You will see the teamwork and collaboration that has inspired student success and has led to national recognition for academic excellence.  Students graduate from Christ the Teacher Catholic School well prepared for life experiences, motivated for success, and firmly anchored in Christian traditions and values. 

I would love to share this special school with you.  Please feel free to contact us or request a tour so you can learn more about Christ the Teacher Catholic School and the incredible benefits of a CTTCS education.

In closing, my door is always open.  Please feel free to email or call for a visit so that we can tell you all of the great things happening at CTTCS!

In Mercy,
Mr. Stephen W. Adams
