The purpose behind the journey
Chaminade’s Portrait of a Graduate expresses the qualities our Catholic, Marianist education seeks to develop in every young man.
It connects learning with character and gives meaning to our motto, Esto Vir. These five qualities offer a vision for a life of purpose, carried into relationships, work, service, and community.
Faith with purpose.
A growing relationship with God guides a life of virtue, purpose, and faithful choices.

Stronger together.

Compassion that moves us.

Character in every choice.
