Your Esto Vir Journey begins here...

Esto Vir, or "Be A Man" is the journey all Chaminade boys take to develop spiritually, educationally, socially, and culturally to become the men the world needs them to be.  At Chaminade, Esto Vir is more than a motto.  It is something we take to heart.

Middle School | 6-8th

Chaminade's middle school program provides exceptional opportunities for our students to grow and develop as we seek to prepare them for success in high school academically, socially, and spiritually. 
 
The goal of our middle school is to give students the opportunity to establish positive and trusting relationships with their peers and their teachers. Our House System is often the avenue through which these relationships are formed and developed.

Throughout our school's history, we have enjoyed a close association with the Society of Mary and our identity has been enhanced by the constant presence of Marianist priests and brothers serving as administrators, faculty, and staff.
