Student Life
A school rich in traditions and opportunities for fun, faith, and personal growth.“Cambridge is an absolutely great community! I feel so comfortable, confident, and happy here. I really appreciate that I found this wonderful school.”
— Cambridge Sophomore
A Rich School Culture
Cambridge is a school rich with traditions that make life as a student fun, varied, and exciting. From House competitions and talent shows to dances and student trips, there are countless opportunities for students to break the routine, flex their creative muscles, and make lifelong memories.
Trips & Retreats
Cambridge students have plentiful opportunities to grow outside the classroom. From travel to historic sites nationwide to a yearly college trip open to high schoolers, our students get to discover destinations from the Alamo to the National Capitol.
A cornerstone of school culture, retreats bring our community together to enjoy outdoor activities, build friendships, and grow in faith. They include the All School Retreat at Sky Ranch, the Freshman Retreat, and the Senior Leadership Retreat.
The Cambridge House System
Part teams, part families, Cambridge’s Houses give our students opportunities for fun, fellowship—and friendly competition!
The House Cup
Our four houses—Alfred, Charlemagne, Constantine, and Justinian—compete throughout the year to win the coveted House Cup. Student earn points through house competitions and challenges, as well as for exemplary behavior in the areas of academics, social participation, service, encouragement, and spirit.
The House Feast
At the end of the first semester, houses gather for the House Feast, a Christmas-themed celebration. We have dinner, a gift exchange, a house toast competition, as well as great desserts and fellowship.
Clubs
Every year, students voluteer to head their favorite clubs, leading to a wonderful array of opportunities of the years, including:
Art Club
Drama Club Photography Club Karate Club Literature Club Football Club Chess Club
Mock Trial Club Pro-Life Club Newspaper Club RPG Club Symposium Club Worship Team World Affairs Club
Student Leadership
As a small school, opportunities for leadership are plentiful! Prefects nurture our morale through mentorship, service, and social events; Honor Council upholds standards and restores students who may have misstepped; while Heads of Houses inspire others to grow in excellence while competing for the House Cup.
Dances & Special Events
From ice cream socials in middle school to casual and formal dances for high schoolers— even a Western-style Hoedown for the whole family—our calendar is filled with activities that bring our community together.
Community Service
Service is an essential part of who we are. Prefects plan a quarterly service project for the student body and there are opportunities for gaining service hours in and out of school.
Performing Arts
Cambridge offers many opportunities for students to develop their creative talents and take the lead in Cambridge productions. Students help run our drama productions, including leadership roles in casting, rehearsals, and staging. Meanwhile, the junior class organizes our Coffee Haus talent show, in which judges award prizes for fun and silly categories. For those who love singing, the Cambridge Chorale gives seasonal concerts and adds beauty to Wednesday Chapels.
