Stuart Hall School is a member of the Episcopal Church Schools in the Diocese of Virginia.   Our chapel services reflect our tradition and are designed to be inclusive and welcoming to persons of all faiths.

At McGuire Lower School students gather at the start of each week for "Mondays at McGuire," a time to reflect on the coming week in a spiritually open environment appropriate for young students. 

At Cochran Middle and Gray Upper School, chapel is held Tuesday and Thursday and features speakers from the Stuart Hall community and the community at large. 

We see life as a union of body, mind, heart, and spirit.  We therefore go to chapel not to worship in any one way, but:

To strengthen our sense of community

To stimulate our minds

To reflect on life's meaning and purpose

To remind ourselves that ethical and moral issues are fundamental to education

To enhance our understanding of our own spiritual journey and those of others.

It is our goal that everyone who joins in this experience of chapel will leave with inspiration, enlightenment, and eagerness to be of service in the world.

During 2008-2009, the chapel theme is "Community through Diversity."  Stuart Hall is made up of students, teachers, and staff representing different countries, cultures, races, religious traditions, and family backgrounds.  As an Episcopal school we desire to forge a community which celebrates the uniqueness of each person, creates understanding and empathy with others, and encourages outreach to the world around us.   While "community" and "diversity" are perennial themes in our reflections together, during this academic year, speakers and programs will place special emphasis on the significance and interrelationship of the two concepts. 

Families and friends of Stuart Hall are encouraged to join students at Chapel.  Please check the web site, specifically News at STU - schedules will be updated as speakers are confirmed.
