CHAPLAIN SCHOOL
Serving God And Country
The Army Chaplain School provides training for Army Chaplains and Chaplain Assistants so that they can properly tend to the spiritual needs of other Soldiers.
The Army Chaplaincy offers Ministers, Priests, Imams and Rabbis the unique opportunity to guide Soldiers and their families through life's triumphs and tragedies. They are involved in the Soldier's "circle of life," from births and baptisms to confirmations and marriage, to illness and last rites. Every day, Army Chaplains positively affect the lives of Soldiers and their families.
The Chaplain School is critical for the success of the Army's missions. Each year, this school trains about 1,100 students, both enlisted and Officers. The courses range from two weeks to six months.
