Our Vision
Chapelton Christian Preparatory School partners with parents to cultivate well educated young people who graduate at their potential. We address the needs of the “whole-person” when we approach our students needs. We prepare the next generation of Christ-centered leaders and citizens.

Our Values
We are committed to helping students develop a faith of
their own amidst social and cultural pressure. We are committed to a vibrant
partnership with parents by providing them with resources, support, and
community to aid the growth and development of their children. We encourage
growth in God-given talents through co-curricular contributions. Our values are best articulated in our "Seven Distinctives."
Our Seven Distinctives:
Christian, Classical, Conservative, Church-based, Culture of Excellence,
Community of Families, and Cost-affordable.
1. CHRIST-CENTERED
Christ is the center and the starting
point of all learning and wisdom. Students
are taught to view all of life under the Lordship of Jesus Christ with
systematic theology. We provide an education rooted in God's truth
that helps our students grow into Godly adults who love and honor Him. Education
is not just about acquiring knowledge, but about knowing God in a deeper way. When young people know and trust Christ, they will form character and values that will last a lifetime. Our curriculum is consistent with our
biblical worldview, and all subjects are taught with an emphasis on how they
relate to God's plan for the world.
2. CLASSICAL
Our approach to education is based on
the time-honored tradition of classical education, which has been proven over
centuries to produce individuals who are well-rounded, intellectually curious,
and able to think critically. Our curriculum is designed to be rigorous, yet
accessible, and to instill in our students a love of learning that will last a
lifetime. Classical education is aimed at developing virtue and character, and
that students should be challenged to think deeply and to engage with the great
ideas and works of Western civilization. Education is not merely accumulating
knowledge, but growing in wisdom (how to apply knowledge) and virtue (how to
apply knowledge with moral excellence).
3. CONSERVATIVE
We are committed to providing an
education that is grounded in the principles of Western civilization, which are
based on a respect for individual liberty, personal responsibility, and the
rule of law. Our curriculum emphasizes the importance of logic, reason,
critical thinking, and systematic philosophy. We seek to instill in our students a sense of
respect for the great thinkers and leaders who have shaped our world. We're educating with a fidelity to truth; that is: We're working to conserve our Christian and American Heritage.
We’re a Nation founded on Christian values.
We believe in American Exceptionalism.
We believe Freedom and Liberty come from God.
Family is the Building-Block of Society.
We treasure the Sanctity & Dignity of Human Life.
We hold fidelity to our Founding Fathers Wisdom & Vision.
We believe in Limited Government & Low Taxes.
We believe in Peace through Strength.
We believe in Hard Work and Free Commerce; therefore,
We are both Anti-Socialism and Anti-Communism.
We believe in the Potential within Every Individual.
4. CHURCH-LED
As a ministry of New Chapel, the
doctrine and convictions of our cooperative are guarded by the elders of the
church. This ensures that students are
discipled according to God’s Word. We are committed to providing an education
consistent with the biblical mandate of both the church and parents.
Scripturally, God ordained only two institutions for the training of children.
He ordained the home (in Ephesians 6:1-4) and He ordained the church (in
Matthew 19:14; 28:20; John 21:15). As such, Christian schooling is a
supplement not a replacement for the discipleship training of children by
parents. We believe this collaboration, in the form of a Christian Education and schooling, is
key to developing our young people grow in their faith and understanding of
God's plan for their lives. We believe it is crucial to preserve our Christian
heritage.
5. CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE
We are committed to both academic and
spiritual excellence through a comprehensive curriculum while encouraging
imagination and promoting the development of body, mind and soul.
6. COMMUNITY OF FAMILIES
We believe that parents have the
primary role in a child’s education, discipleship and growth. Therefore, we are a community of families who
are involved and invested in the life of our cooperative.
7. COST-AFFORDABLE
We believe that a high-quality
education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial
situation. As a result, we offer financial aid and scholarships to families who
are a good fit for our cooperative and who need assistance to cover the cost of
tuition. This is a benefit of being part of a group that is led by a church. Our goal is to make our school affordable to as many families as
possible, while still maintaining the highest standards of academic excellence
and spiritual formation.
