What is the Christian Hall?
The Christian Hall is a local, independent community dedicated to intellectual, spiritual, and vocational formation, where student cohorts engage in tutorial-based education under the guidance of a local facilitator as they pursue a diverse selection of accredited, Christ-centered study programs.
Oxford Origins
The Oxford tutorial system, rooted in medieval Oxford and Cambridge, is central to our philosophy at Christian Halls International. Inspired by his own Oxford experience, our President, Dr. Nicholas Ellis, aims to bring this system's intimate discussions and mentorship to communities worldwide.
Socratic Engagement
At Christian Halls, Socratic engagement is central. Facilitated by tutors, students engage in thought-provoking dialogues, challenging preconceptions, fostering critical thinking, and intertwining intellectual, spiritual, and vocational growth.
Human Formation
We define human formation as the lifelong journey of nurturing individuals within their families and faith communities to worship God and interact with the world in accordance with divine design and commands.
Our approach emphasizes intellectual, spiritual, and vocational formation and recognizes the essential role of family and the local church in shaping core beliefs and worldviews.
Human formation encompasses life within and beyond the home, with the goal of preparing individuals for life both in this world and in the world to come.
