Welcome to christopher house!

Christopher House is a catalyst for helping at-risk children from birth to age 18 thrive by taking a comprehensive approach to education and creating lifelong learners. Understanding that educating the child is not enough, we also provide supportive services to the entire family that help build stability and self-sufficiency. Our innovative, family-centered approach is critical to the well-being of the children and families we serve, expanding opportunities and having a positive, measurable impact on their ability to succeed.

Over 98% of our families are at or below 200% of the federal poverty line. Learn more about our programs and enrollment.
