The Clapham Model
A classical education emphasizes a three-tiered format known as the Trivium.
From Our Students
After four years as a student at Clapham School, I truly believe it is a special place. My relationships with my teachers and peers, as well as our many classes and discussions, have all strengthened my faith. The education a Clapham student receives is exceptional.
Taline
Clapham throughout the years has always been a very supportive learning environment, as everything is done in a close-knit community. The teachers are always ready to help if I do not understand, the Shakespeare play is a lesson in cooperation, and volleyball is a small team that runs on support. It is its supportive nature that makes Clapham unique—everyone is known.

“My favorite part about going to middle school at Clapham is Shakespeare. I really enjoy acting out a Shakespeare play and can’t wait for next year!"
ANGELINA
The volleyball team is great. You build teamwork with each other over the year and at the end of the year you’re great friends with everyone; the coach is awesome too.
Sophia Clapham taught me to not just observe a painting but to see beauty.
Clapham taught me not just to appreciate a symphony for its sound, but to hear the complexities of life in the notes. Clapham taught me not just to “study hard” and “ace tests” but to know the value of education and understanding the beautiful world God has given us. The teachers at Clapham school mentored me and taught me not just as a student, but as a friend. It proved that growth happens through close, Christ-centered relationships where God’s truth is the authority, and His world is our playground.

Faculty Interviews
Christianity is the foundation to my approach to rhetoric. Without anchoring in biblical truth, rhetoric quickly devolves into manipulation … The goal of rhetoric is to assist the truth, to present the Gospel in all its glory and power.
