Mr. Benjie Colberg

Benjie Colberg has endeared himself to the boys through a variety of roles in two stints at Christ School. 

He became Special Assistant to the Head of School and Dean of Campus Life starting with the 2022-23 academic year. 

Previously, Mr. Colberg had been Dean of Residential Life, varsity lacrosse head coach, Assistant Director of Admission, a dorm parent and Head of House, Form Advisor, and faculty advisor to the Honor Council. 

Mr. Colberg received a B.A. in Economics from Denison University in 2015. There, he was part of three conference-championship lacrosse teams, two of which reached the NCAA quarterfinals. Mr. Colberg captained the team his senior year.

After three years of work here at Christ School, Mr. Colberg left in 2018 to take part in The Fellows Program, a nine-month leadership development and vocational discernment program through Trinity Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville, Va. He earned his master's in Education from the Vanderbilt Peabody School of Education in the summer of 2021.

Mr. Colberg likes to travel to visit friends and family, any competitive game, reading, watching University of Virginia basketball and Washington Commanders football, and photography. In his opinion, "The Lord of the Rings" movies are the greatest film trilogy of all-time. 

Mr. Colberg lives on campus with his wife, Ali.
