Campbell Hall

Recommended Posts

Campbell Hall is a community of inquiry that inspires its students, faculty, administrators, and parents to explore the world with open hearts and curious minds. Our academic program celebrates joyous inquiry rather than an anxiety-driven curriculum. Our inclusive and innovative programs emphasize connections and relationships among both ideas and people. Our students’ spiritual development is the centerpiece of our mission in the belief that pursuing academic excellence flourishes most alongside an equal commitment to nurturing loving, responsible, and healthy children.
We prepare students best for a larger world where highly complex problems dominate the landscape by nurturing their critical thinking skills within a supportive community so they know how to work with others with grace, focus, intelligence, and optimism. Life can be all about joyful and courageous inquiry, and we are lucky to grow together in that experience with our school community.
The teaching and learning at Campbell Hall do not separate the intellect from the heart but connects the breadth of the mind with the breath of the spirit. Drawing from the Episcopal tradition that knowledge comes from asking questions rather than asserting answers, we challenge our community each day to investigate the meaning of the lives we live together. Our students are persons of both reason and faith. Their quest for knowledge becomes a journey of intellectual discovery that is wed to a moral center. What our students learn is sewn into a pattern of faith for daily living. As a community of inquiry, our students’ learning takes the form of joyous inquiry rather than rote learning.
We are at heart a community exploring together the nature of reality, the norms of culture, and concrete ways to make the world a better place. We encourage all members of the community to improve their critical faculties, to value the learning and thought we have inherited from the past, and to remain open always to truths beyond our current understanding. We encourage faculty and administrators to create programs that allow students to pursue inquiries wherever they lead and to give students an experience of the transformative power of essential questions. We encourage faculty and administrators to explore approaches that help students’ curiosity expand rather than contract.
Spiritual development is at the heart of everything we do at Campbell Hall. We continue to honor the Episcopalian tradition as a place of open inquiry and spiritual formation. Campbell Hall's spiritual mission is to nurture the soul and character of all students entrusted to our care. Above all, Campbell Hall exists not merely to educate, but to demonstrate and proclaim the unique worth and beauty of all human beings as creations of a loving, empowering God. We take great pride in being an interfaith community that learns from many religious traditions. We seek to instill morals and values that emphasize goodness, responsibility, love, respect, and a sense of connectedness to something greater than ourselves.
To achieve academic excellence, we passionately pursue knowledge, which cannot be taught to a test but grows internally through the values embedded in our curriculum. We seek a balance in the lives of our students, believing that offering a contemplative center is the foundation of real learning.
We are committed to weaving a diverse, interfaith community. To do so, we push ourselves to achieve a greater understanding of the other to not reject what is difficult or different, but to embrace the authenticity of each student and every family's background, and honor their individuality. We believe in something simple and sacred: happy children.
Service is not separated from our academic program but guides it from within. Whether we send high school students to teach creative writing to fifth graders in a public school, or grade school students to Hillsides Center to both give and learn, or support our sister schools in Haiti, we devote ourselves to serving those in need and thus deepening our understanding of the diverse world around us.
We are all formed by our culture and our community. Our school believes in the power of love the spiritual and moral development of our students begins with the love we owe toward one another. Our community sets its compass toward faith, honesty, and integrity and is committed to thriving with diversity, autonomy, and compassion.
