Campbell Hall’s mission states that we are committed to academic excellence and to the nurturing of decent, loving, and responsible human beings.  The school, serving students in grades K through 12, is a coeducational, nonprofit, independent, college preparatory day school.  Founded in 1944 with 74 students (K-6), the school’s liberal arts program now serves 1,090 students with an average class size of 15-25. Committed to serving a diverse, interfaith student body, the campus provides a climate where the values of community, self-worth, compassion, respect, service, and responsibility are integral to its traditions. The academic program is structured and challenging.  The core curriculum provides study in the traditional disciplines, which are enriched by a variety of activities including athletics, visual arts, music, drama, dance, computer science, digital technology and experiential education.  Wherever possible, the school and its faculty endeavor to explore with students the cultures of the world to prepare them to become global citizens.
