Campbell Hall School is an independent, coeducational, K-12 Episcopal day school
located in the Studio City neighborhood of the city of Los Angeles, California,
United States. Founded in 1944 by the Reverend Alexander Campbell, the school
has an enrollment of approximately 1,000 students from kindergarten through high
school. It has programs in athletics, music, drama, dance and all other major
academic areas. The school features a developed Performing Arts Program.
Students in kindergarten through grade twelve participate in dance, voice,
instrumental and drama programs. Orchestra and a World Music Program are
available for grades 7-12. The Cunningham String Quartet performs an
entirely classical repertoire at school functions and recently played at the
National Association of Episcopal Schools Conference opening service.
History The school opened in 1944 as a
kindergarten to sixth grade school at the St. David's Parish Sunday School
building at 4343 Radford Avenue in Studio City. It moved to its current
site in the 1945-46 school year. It gradually expanded to include junior
high school, a girl's high school, and the acceptance of boys for all levels in
the mid-1980s. The Fourth R, a film made in the late 1940s explains the founding
of the school based on a need for religion in the daily education of the
school's students. The chapel program continues this tradition. Since its
founding, Campbell Hall School has had three headmasters: Rev. Alexander
Campbell, the founder, Rev. Canon Thomas G. Clarke, who served in this position
for 32 years and the current headmaster, Rev. Julian Bull.
Tuition Tuition for the 2014-2015 school year is
$27,690 and $32,690 per year for Secondary School. Additional fees
include a $2,500 fee for admission processing assessed only once in each
family's career at Campbell Hall. Over $3,000,000 of Campbell Hall's
$26,000,000 budget is dedicated to financial aid, although much of this is
used to attract diversity and sports playing students. 25% of the enrolled
students receive grants averaging 50% of the cost of tuition. The remaining money
for financial aid comes from the schools's endowment.
Senior seminars Campbell Hall School offers a set of
Senior Seminars to graduating students. These classes range from a nostalgic
view of the glory days of sports, to more topical issues that examine current
controversies in America and others that attempt to examine what constitutes
"evil". Each class is discussion based. Athletics
