The National School Chaplain Association (NSCA), the only nationally accredited body for school chaplain training, is proud to offer its certified chaplains to elementary, middle, and high schools. The impact of NSCA school chaplains is already far-reaching to over 30,000 schools, serving over 27 million people in 23 countries. These chaplains provide skilled holistic care for students, staff, and the school community.
Schools already had the power to hire chaplains in the United States, but passing the recent Texas law created a president for hiring school chaplains using existing funding. Other states have passed similar bills, representing a significant milestone in returning moral and ethical education to public schools.
Chaplaincy isn’t a new or experimental idea; it is a proven global role and has been shown to dissipate tension, resolve conflict, and bring hope. The NSCA is dedicated to placing highly trained chaplains in schools nationwide. Many of these chaplains are former educators who have transitioned to a pastoral role, blending their understanding of education with a commitment to spiritual and emotional well-being. Chaplains trained by the NSCA work with students from all religious backgrounds, offering support that strengthens a school’s existing welfare programs.
The presence of chaplains in schools is crucial, especially as children and adolescents face increasing challenges today. By building character, resilience, and a sense of purpose, chaplains help foster a positive school environment. The NSCA believes that their chaplains can play a key role in addressing issues like loneliness, discord, and conflict, offering hope and guidance in turbulent times.
A spokesperson from the NSCA noted, “Our chaplains are prepared to serve individuals of diverse religious, spiritual, moral, and ethical backgrounds. In today’s world, the chaplain's role is more critical than ever.”
