Our Vision: To Propel Students for a Life of Service to Christ

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
