MISSION VISIONAND VALUES

In this Section

THE MISSION

The Cambridge School seeks to provide a distinctly Christian education in the classical tradition which equips students to know, love, and practice that which is true, good, and beautiful and thus prepares them to live purposefully and intelligently in service of God and neighbor.

THE
VISION

The Cambridge School seeks to become an educational institution of scholastic and cultural gravitas, of extraordinary and exemplary virtuous scholars, a formidable force in the expansion and enrichment of Christ’s Kingdom, in the life both of the individual and the world.

THE
VALUES

The Cambridge School seeks to instill in the educational community it cultivates an enduring love of learning, a commitment to serve others and a dedication to the pursuit of religious truth, moral goodness and aesthetic beauty, forged from historical models of orthodox Christianity.

Creeds and Confessions

We embrace and adopt the essential truths of orthodox Christianity as expressed in the ecumenical Councils of Nicea, Chalcedon, and the Apostle’s Creed, and as more fully articulated in the great confessions and creeds of the Protestant Reformation, accepting and focusing on those areas of doctrinal teaching on which, historically, there has been general agreement among all orthodox believers, and deferring to the family and the local church in areas of doctrine not set forth herein.

A Different Approach

Committed to a robust anthropology, Cambridge endeavors to teach the whole student through embodied learning and a sensitivity for the complexity of human nature: its dignity as well as its frailty. While we pursue academics vigorously, we recognize that people are more than their knowledge, and we intentionally concern ourselves with the maturation of character. Learning isn’t merely about the what, but also about the who.

Statement of Faith

We believe in the Bible in its entirety, consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, as the only infallible rule of faith and practice and subscribe to the historic, orthodox expressions of the Christian faith as it is expressed in the Nicene Creed, the Apostles’ Creed, the Athanasian Creed as well as in the Westminster Standards (i.e., the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Shorter and Larger Catechisms), the Three Forms of Unity (i.e., the Belgic Confession, the Canons of Dordt, the Heidelberg Catechism), etc.
