For Ashley (Hardin) Chappell, Class of 2017, life and work are deeply intertwined with her faith. As a StoneBridge alumna and now a member of the StoneBridge faculty, she seeks to use every opportunity, relationship, and responsibility as a way to serve Christ and invest in others.
For Landon Wells, SBS Class of 2021, faithfulness is not just something lived out on the soccer fields and basketball courts; it’s a daily commitment of investing in others. Serving as a coach across several SBS sports teams—primarily at the JJV level—Landon views coaching as more than just competition. It’s a calling.
Nicole Gamboni Walter, Class of 2014, like many young Christians stepping into college and adulthood, found that faith was no longer something reinforced daily by teachers and parents. It had to become her own. What began as lessons learned at StoneBridge soon matured into a personal, resilient trust in Christ, rooted firmly in the Biblical foundation first planted there.
There’s an unsettling feeling that follows when the role that once defined you suddenly disappears. For Joel Arcieri, StoneBridge School Class of 2009, that time came when he stepped away from ministry — and with it, the title of “pastor” that had shaped his identity for years. What followed was a season marked by depression and anxiety, a time when his faith was tested.
At StoneBridge School, the journey of Christian education is a seamless thread—woven from the earliest grades through graduation. What begins in the Lower and Middle School classrooms with the shaping of a Biblical worldview and disciplined learning habits matures in high school into a life of purpose guided by four defining ideals: Scholarship, Stewardship, Servanthood, and Statesmanship. The strength of this foundation is evident in the success of our alumni.
Many Christian students just out of high school may find themselves trying to navigate the challenges of living out their faith in a secular world. Fortunately for many students like Chris Kostrzewa, SBS Class of 2017, StoneBridge taught him how to face these challenges with confidence and compassion.
