CORE VALUES

Chapel Field is a Classical Christian school with the mission of partnering with parents to cultivate a joyful community of students who love the truth, who pursue wisdom and virtue, and who live to the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.  As such, the core values we maintain in executing and instilling that vision are represented by the three Latin words from our school seal.

Studium: “a zeal for learning or studiousness”

We aim to be a community that reads, studies, contemplates, and debates great ideas together, from our faculty to our students. We seek to be a school where there is a buzz and hum of learning and discussing permeating the campus.

Gaudio: “Joy”

We aim to cultivate a culture of joy among our students and faculty who enjoy being in school and who enjoy being around each other.  Ours is a school of singing, conversation, and laughter. We seek “Schole,” the Latin word from which we derive our English word for school, but which means leisure.  We seek to provide true “school,” that is, an enjoyable and refreshing education.

Pietas: “piety or reverent humility”

We seek to do all things in a spirit of gratitude and reverent humility.  We honor the authorities that God has placed over us as we honor the great authors and thinkers that we study, listening with respect to what they teach.  We teach our students to respect their parents, church, and civil authorities.  We teach them to respect the past and to appreciate the sacrifice of those that have given them so much of what they have.
