At Samuel Fuller School, we desire to be a community that promotes spiritual growth through engaging the heart, soul, and mind. We recognize that the right structure is critical to the outcome. Structure alone will not accomplish anything of note without the active participation of parents, students, and teachers.
​
Within this scope, we want to create thoughtful traditions. As a part of this overall picture, we believe that a community structure, which we call the City State House System, is of great benefit to the SFS students in personal development. It creates a venue for every student to be a part of something beyond their small friend groups and classrooms.
 
Leadership Development
Using this structure gives us the apparatus to promote leadership development. Leadership is something that can be learned through opportunity better than it can be taught. Leadership starts with good character and integrity and is exhibited through opportunities to love and serve one another.
 
Character Development
The development of character goes hand in hand with the training of the mind. Right thinking should lead to right practice. In addition to the training of the intellect, our house system strives to place the development of good manners, and character traits such as integrity and love for God and neighbor as a part of its ethos.
