Philosophy
Chaminade College Preparatory School is an independent Catholic School for young men in Grades 6-12. The school bears the name of Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, a priest who lived during the era of the French Revolution and who founded the religious order known as the Society of Mary (Marianists).
The school maintains an active relationship with this Society through governance structures and the employment of lay and religious Marianists committed to a conscious effort to keep alive the most fundamental traits of Marianist spirituality in all aspects of the institution's functioning.
History
Chaminade College Preparatory school is named for the man who founded the Brothers of Mary. William Joseph Chaminade was born in France in 1761. The youngest of thirteen children, he became a diocesan priest, living through one of the most dangerous periods in history, the French Revolution. France at this time underwent a period of upheaval in which the Catholic Church was, to say the least, unpopular with the “enlightened” men who governed the country after the execution of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Religion was on the decline; churches had been taken over by the government. Father Chaminade was forced into exile in Spain.
