Religious Education

When you enrol your son at TSS Preparatory School you are becoming part of a unique educational experience – one which provides your child with a strong spiritual foundation for life, along with academic excellence. Whilst enrolment is open to boys of all religious backgrounds, or none, the school values highly its primary aim of educating the whole boy. It is therefore expected that those who choose to attend this school will share fully in the religious programme that is offered.

Boys at Prep are carefully guided as they confront many of the issues facing young people today. In class, through the study of the Bible and its relevance, through the investigation of other religious traditions, through discussion of the moral and ethical issues that we face, boys are encouraged to develop a ‘spiritual character’ that will aid them as they grow and mature. It is this character, we believe, that will enable our boys to make appropriate choices for themselves and for others in the future.

 

Chapel Life at Prep

Prep boys and their teachers attend a weekly chapel service appropriate to the boys age and stage of development. At these times of worship, the ‘Virtue’ of the week is introduced and ways of living the virtue are espoused. Through drama and song, puppets and story, we worship God, have some fun and learn a little more about living a fully human existence.

From time to time, special chapel services are conducted in St Alban’s Chapel, or at other locations around the school. These services are specifically designed for particular year groups, House groups, institution of School Officials, or the like. Members of the Prep community are expected to support and attend these very important services.
