History

The school opened in 1944 as a kindergarten to sixth grade school at the St. David's Parish Sunday School building at 4343 Radford Avenue in Studio City. It moved to its current site in the 1945–46 school year.^[6] It gradually expanded to include junior high school, a girls high school, and the acceptance of boys for all levels in the mid-1980s.^[7] The Fourth R, a film made in the late 1940s explains the founding of the school based on a need for religion in the daily education of the school's students. The chapel program continues this tradition. Since its founding, Campbell Hall School has had three headmasters: the Rev. Alexander Campbell, the founder; the Rev. Canon Thomas G. Clarke, who was in this position for 32 years; and the current As of May 10, 2025^[update], headmaster, the Rev. Julian Bull.^[8]
