At Clapham School our vision is to “equip young men and women to intentionally serve Christ by cultivating his goodness, truth and beauty in the world.”
A focus on serving those around us is crucial to avoiding the problems of entitlement and elitism. We intentionally train our students from a young age by giving them class jobs and responsibilities. Our students are treated as leaders and included in the daily life of the school.
We also have designed service projects and leadership opportunities to help develop in them the heart and skills of service. Some examples of this include:
Volunteering with Feed My Starving Children
MSHV Donation Drive for Veterans
Good Neighbor Kit Drive for Refugees
Fall Day Retreat for Secondary School students
Student Leadership courses in the Upper School
“No man has the right to be idle. Where is it, that in such a world as this, health and leisure and affluence may not find some ignorance to instruct, some wrong to redress, some want to supply, some misery to alleviate.”
-William Wilberforce
