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.
