Robinson School is an institution founded on Christian principles, born from its covenant relationship with the Methodist Church. Robinson School serves students and the community as a place for all to develop and flourish spiritually, ethically, and socially. The School’s core values keep our school community strong and united, and embracing our identity means upholding these values from the Christian Worldview as defined by the Bible.
Robinson School is an inclusive and welcoming community where individuals are valued, relationships are cherished, respect for oneself and one-another is constant, and where excellence in its widest sense is pursued in all areas.
The Department’s main goal is to guide the students through their journey by facilitating the tools necessary to develop character and grow in their convictions while discovering what it means to love God, themselves, and others. Our goal is not for them to just know these things, but we want to create opportunities for the students to put faith and love into action and to help them become caring and compassionate citizens.
We also work in accordance with and to support the IB programs by providing another platform and perspective for the students to develop and grow in the qualities described by the IB learner profile.
We provide educational experiences and activities to bring mind, heart, intellect, and passion together for students to grow in their spiritual walk. We aim to teach love, compassion, open-mindedness, forgiveness, humility, empathy, humanity, selflessness, and respect; values we hold as reflective of Christianity.
Chapel is a vibrant component of Spiritual Life on campus. It is a special time deliberately set apart from classes to refresh, renew, and revitalize the spiritual lives of our campus family. The Spiritual Life department strives to create authentic, dynamic worship services that address real problems in practical ways to help students walk continually closer with God.
Within spiritual formation courses students learn academic content, formational experiences, small-group accountability, and fellowship to help develop their relationship with God and others. Spiritual Life class strives to not only build each student’s mind, but their character. The program includes core biblical values that equip our students to live a principled life in a challenging and demanding world. Service-learning projects are a key component of the Spiritual Life program. Along with the service project, the students will engage in other topics to help them in their spiritual journey, to strengthen their character, and to understand the importance of morality and ethics in daily life.
Students grow closer with God and each other through games, small groups, sermons, and worship services both on and off campus.
Opportunities for students to engage in meaningful service to others and service leadership reinforce the objectives of the Spiritual Life program and prepare our students to lead, make sound choices and practice positive citizenship in our ever changing, multicultural world.
