Campbell Hall
OUR MISSION:
Campbell Hall is a COMMUNITY OF INQUIRY committed to academic excellence and to the nurturing of DECENT, LOVING, AND RESPONSIBLE human beings.
OUR VISION:
The teaching and learning at Campbell Hall does not separate the intellect from the heart, but connects the breadth of the mind with the breath of the spirit. Drawing from the Episcopal tradition that knowledge comes from asking questions rather than asserting answers, we challenge our community each day to investigate the meaning of the lives we live together. Our students are persons of both reason and faith. Their quest for knowledge becomes a journey of intellectual discovery that is wed to a moral center. What our students learn is sewn into a pattern of faith for daily living. As a community of inquiry, our students’ learning takes the form of joyous inquiry rather than rote learning.
We are at heart a community exploring together the nature of reality, the norms of culture, and concrete ways to make the world a better place. We encourage all members of the community to improve their critical faculties, to value the learning and thought we have inherited from the past, and to remain open always to truths beyond our current understanding.
We encourage faculty and administrators to create programs that allow students to pursue inquiries wherever they lead, to give students an experience of the transformative power of essential questions. We encourage faculty and administrators to explore approaches that help students’ curiosity expand rather than contract.
A Campbell Hall education will raise issues of meaning, identity, and ultimate truth at every opportunity, but also will acknowledge the limits of human reason in the face of life’s most profound questions.
