A New Kind of College Prep
Clapham School announces the opening of Class Nine for the 2012-13 school year. Applications are now being accepted for spaces in a high school program which is unavailable anywhere else in the surrounding area.
Does your student desire real learning that challenges the mind? Is she tired of a
high school experience that involves churning out work, passing the test, and checking off the task list to get into college? Does your student want to flourish in high school and therefore know how to get the best out of college? Does he want the time to think and ponder with teachers who care about God’s truth?

Our instructors are a purposeful combination of scholar-mentor, providing inspiration in the classroom and out by shepherding toward habits of service, responsibility, initiative and independence. Our teachers call students up to a high level of scholarship, but primarily seek to instill a love for God, his Word, and an eagerness to serve Christ by cultivating his goodness, truth and beauty in the world.
