Christian Living Years 9-11
The mission statement of the Christian Living course is:
“We mean to establish a school for the Lord’s service”
The Christian Living course exists to help create St Benedict’s vision of a school for the Lord’s service. This is achieved in two ways:
- A course which is designed to help to build the sort of community that we want Ampleforth to be.
- A course which is focused upon preparing our young men and women for the challenges of living a Christian Life within the wider world.
