Founded in 1944 by the Reverend Alexander Campbell, Campbell Hall School is home to approximately 1000 students from Kindergarten through high school.

History

The school opened in 1944 as a kindergarten to sixth grade school at the St. David's Parish Sunday School building at 4343 Radford Avenue in North Hollywood. It moved to its current site in the 1945-46 school year. [ [http://www.campbell.pvt.k12.ca.us/aboutus/history.asp Campbell Hall » About Us » History » 1944 to 1949 ] ] It gradually expanded to include junior high school, a girl's high school, and finally boys were accepted for all levels in the mid-80's. "The Fourth R," a film made in the late 1940s explains the founding of the school based on a need for religion in the daily education of the school's students. The chapel program continues this tradition and the school's mission statement reflects the need for a curriculum of the heart, as well as, the mind. Since its founding, Campbell Hall School has had three headmasters: Rev. Alexander Campbell, the founder, Rev. Canon Thomas G. Clarke, who served in this position for 32 years and the current headmaster, Rev. Julian Bull.
