President Jerry D. Campbell and the School's world-class faculty are excited by what the future holds, both at Claremont and on the Pacific Rim. If you are exploring your options for ministerial preparation, theological study, religious scholarship, or personal enrichment, then Claremont may be right for you. On top of it all, the city of Claremont recently was named a "Top Five Place to Live," based on diversity of its community, safety, quality of education, and the overall quality of life in this small college town.

NEW STATEMENT OF MISSION, VISION, AND VALUES

The Board of Trustees recently adopted new statements of Mission, Vision, and Values for the future of Claremont School of Theology. The mission statement declares:

"An ecumenical and interfaith institution, Claremont School of Theology seeks to instill students with the ethical integrity, religious intelligence, and intercultural understanding necessary to become effective in thought and action as spiritual leaders in the increasingly diverse, multi-faith world of the 21st century."

CLAREMONT SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY CELEBRATES 50 YEARS

In 1957, the "Southern California School of Theology" separated from the University of Southern California and started classes in the small college town of Claremont, located in eastern Los Angeles County. The school began as an outpost of radical optimism, as a place for the brightest faculty and students to envision a peaceful future together. Fifty years later, Claremont School of Theology continues to draw on these passions, even as we race toward bold new ideas and practices for the future.
