Statement of Purpose and Philosophy

Campbell Hall embraces the philosophy that the students entrusted to its care are persons of both faith and reason. This point of view commissions the faculty and staff to encourage each student to quest for knowledge and to fit the educational experience into a pattern of faith for daily living. The relationship with the Episcopal Church places Campbell Hall in the Judeo-Christian tradition and imbues the school with a sensitivity to the moral and ethical dimensions of life. The chapel program encourages students to discover the presence of God in their lives and to respect all religions of the world as sources of knowledge and truth. The school is committed to serving a diverse, interfaith student body.

The academic program, from primary classes through the most advanced courses at the high school, is structured and challenging. The elementary school provides young learners with a strong foundation in a carefully planned sequence of study. The college preparatory curriculum readies secondary students for the subject mastery and learning processes necessary for advanced study in the traditional disciplines: English, mathematics, science, foreign language, social science, the arts, and physical education. Supporting and enriching this core curriculum is a variety of studies and experiences in athletics, visual arts, music, drama, computer science, and environmental education. The school and its faculty endeavor to explore with students the cultures of the world - their art, literature, values, and ideals, and to instill habits of life-long learning.

Campbell Hall is committed to academic excellence and to the nurturing of decent, loving, and responsible human beings. The school provides a climate where the values of community, self-worth, compassion, respect, service, and responsibility are taught as part of the school’s tradition.
