[edit] History
"The Fourth R," a film made in the late 1940s explains the founding of the school based on a need for religion in the daily education of the school's students. The chapel program continues this tradition and the school's mission statement reflects the need for a curriculum of the heart, as well as, the mind. Since its founding, Campbell Hall School has had three headmasters: Rev. Alexander Campbell, the founder, Rev. Canon Thomas G. Clarke, who served in this position for 32 years and the current headmaster, Rev. Julian Bull.
[edit] Senior Seminars
Campbell Hall School offers a set of Senior Seminars to graduating students. These classes range from a nostalgic view of the glory days of sports, to more topical issues that examine current controversies in America and others that attempt to examine what constitutes "evil". Each class is discussion based.
