Chapel
Throughout the semester our students and faculty come together to develop a deeper understanding of spirituality. Taught from a Christian perspective,
Lower School Chapel
Students in the Lower School attend chapel once each month. Teaching in the Lower School’s chapel meetings interweaves ethics around a yearly theme — such as “Friendship” or “Live in Harmony” — chosen to appeal to younger children’s understanding of spirituality. Students attend each chapel service. Head of the Lower School Marcy Rall leads chapel, with accompaniment from the Lower School music teacher and hundreds of young singers in the audience.
Middle and Upper School Chapel
JA’s Chapel is a monthly worship event that is planned and facilitated by a student-led, faculty-supported Spiritual Life Leadership Team. Throughout the year, guest speakers, faculty, alumni, and students share messages of encouragement and hope with students, all relating to a theme selected by the Spiritual Life Leadership Team. Some chapels have a special focus, including Christmas, Black History Month, Easter, and Senior chapels. Upper School students are required to attend five chapel services per year, with additional chapel attendance being encouraged, while Middle School students attend all chapel experiences.
