FAITH
While Ambleside is neither affiliated with nor as an institution committed to any particular
religious denomination, it is committed to bearing witness to the person and principles of Jesus
Christ, as expressed in the New Testament, the Nicene Creed, and the Ambleside Charter.
While Ambleside School has a definite commitment to the person and principles of Jesus, it is
not required that all Ambleside families fully share these beliefs, only that they agree to be
respectful of the institutional commitment to them. Parents should expect that their children will
be taught in accordance with these beliefs and teachings. Further, Ambleside School does not
seek to suppress any theological differences of member families. Rather, it seeks to cultivate an
atmosphere where mutual understanding and agreeable disagreement are cultivated, respectfully
recognizing that the primary responsibility for the spiritual education of children lies with the
parents.
