About Us

Chaminade College Preparatory School, an independent, Catholic Day and Resident school, sponsored by the Marianist Province of the United States, is dedicated to developing the inherent spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical potential of young men in Sixth through Twelfth Grade so they are prepared for success in college and life and ultimately become the men the world needs them to be.

Marianist Service Program

You will discover that God can be ‘seen’ in the face of your brothers and sisters, especially those who are most forgotten: the poor, the hungry, those who thirsty, strangers, the sick, those imprisoned.

- POPE FRANCIS

The Marianist Service Program at Chaminade exists as a directed, student initiated method of doing service and participation in justice. It aims at formation of lay leadership in the Church, imitation of Christ, formation of Esto Vir, quality of reflection, greater awareness and appreciation of others, and compassion for the poor and disenfranchised. All students complete community service as a component of their formation and education each year. Students are required to participate in service to their family, church, school and community.

The number of hours and the types of projects required varies with each grade level. Service requirements increase as students move from middle school to high school and from underclassmen to upperclassmen. Students attending Chaminade for all seven years will perform a minimum of 210 service hours.
