Taking the first steps of a bold adventure.Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious . . . think about these things. (Phil. 4:8)
Welcome to Cambridge!
Some thirty years ago, a group of Dallas families set out to give their children an education they could not get elsewhere.
They wanted to put seriousness of mind back at the center of a deeply Christian education. Truth be told, they were recovering a kind of schooling that is as old as the faith itself, one that is obedient to the charge to love the LORD our God with all of our hearts, minds, souls, and strength. That charge to bring all of ourselves to the pursuit of wisdom is at the center of the Cambridge mission.
At The Cambridge School of Dallas, we pursue academics, athletics, the arts, and extra-curricular activities in light of the Apostle Paul’s words in Romans 12: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
To these ends The Cambridge School of Dallas is:
a Christ-centered school, because we direct all our efforts in light of Christ’s lordship and salvation, striving to offer back to Him the praises of creation;
a classical school, because in humility we pursue truth and wisdom where it is found throughout the ages;
a college-preparatory school, because we are forming young men and women to be sent forth, and to that end we help prepare them to live well as images of God.
We are delighted and privileged to walk this good and joyful way with families and students alike, in the classroom, in the halls, on the court, and in our lives together throughout the years.
Pro Christo,
