Dear Friend, Chances are that you have reached for this introduction to Church Farm School to find out a little more about us—our people, programs, campus and community. As you do, please know that we are reaching out for you, too. We would like to get to know you and learn a little more about what drives you and the person you aspire to become, the immediate and long-term goals you are interested in reaching and how that effort can contribute to the dynamic quality of our 24/7 learning environment that has been helping young men reach their goals for more than 100 years.
to a wide range of students who want to be and do their very best. So, reach for it! We look forward to seeing you on campus for an interview someday soon. With best wishes,
The Reverend Edmund K. “Ned” Sherrill II Head of School
“Reach for it” intends to capture the dynamic, aspirational quality of our common life and the educational experience that is a daily reality here. Striving to be our best, pushing ahead through reasoned inquiry to find greater and more enduring solutions to questions we choose to pursue, persevering through obstacles when we have not yet succeeded and encouraging others as well as being encouraged by them in a rich and rewardingly diverse brotherhood … this is our way of life. Staying still is not an option, so we continue to reach for those things that edify, ennoble and endure. By reaching out to you and placing this introduction to Church Farm School in your hands, please know that we see in you the kind of young man who wants to make a difference in his own life and the lives of others by sharpening his intellectual and physical skills and clarifying his purpose. We are committed to supporting that by making our program uncommonly affordable, thus presenting such an educational option
