Welcome to the Clapham School. We are a classical and Christian School that meets at College Church in downtown Wheaton, IL in the western suburbs of Chicago. We are located at the corner of Seminary and Washington streets, right across from Wheaton College.

Clapham School was conceived in 2005 to meet a felt need for an academically rigorous and distinctively Christian school in the Chicago suburbs. Interested families began discussing plans for the school in late 2005, and began praying together weekly to seek God's guidance in that effort. Our formal journey began in the fall of 2006 with 22 students enrolled. For the 2008–9 school year, we will have over 60 students enrolled.

Our Vision for Clapham School is a school which prepares hearts and minds for lifelong service to God. We encourage our students to passionately pursue learning while understanding that it is God’s truth that leads to life. This life is lived out by serving God and engaging the world by reaching out to others with truth and grace. Thus our mission is two-fold: to prepare the minds of students to engage intelligently with their culture, and to prepare their hearts to follow Christ as they seek to impact their generation for His glory.

We believe that it is God’s truth as revealed in the Bible that leads to life, thus our motto Veritas Pro Vita, literally “truth for life.” The Scriptures provide the basis for the way we live, work and learn at Clapham School. “But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.” Jeremiah 17:7-8
