All
students attend daily chapel, a
sung service of Morning Prayer,
in which they very quickly and easily
learn the Lord’s Prayer, the
Ten Commandments, the Creeds, and
the singing of Psalms and Canticles,
thus learning the grammar of worship.
Lessons from Holy Scripture are
drawn from the Psalms, Proverbs,
gospels, or from the systematic
reading of Bible stories.
They also learn about 200 significant
hymns from the common Christian
heritage of our denominationally
diverse student body as they are
used in the cycle of worship throughout
the Christian year. In addition
to the Daily Office, our Chapel
Service book includes an office
of Instruction and several daily
Litanies, thus encouraging active
student participation in the service.
In filling the memories of our pupils
with the rich heritage of Christian
worship, we trust that, like bread
cast upon water, it will return
after many days (cf. Eccl. 11:1).
It is our prayer that, when our
pupils become adults, the principles
and practice of worship of daily
chapel will guide them to a faithful
church home when they start their
own families.
