20 Alumni Stories - Alex Chin

In this episode of An Examined Education, Alex Chin, a member of Cambridge’s eighth graduating class, reflects on spending twelve formative years at The Cambridge School before heading to Duke University. From pre-K through high school graduation, Alex describes Cambridge as home, a place shaped by deep relationships, rigorous academics, and a community that continually pushed him to grow. He shares how virtue formation, house leadership, and the rhetoric curriculum expanded his capacity for thought and cultivated a lasting awareness of how environments shape identity. Now navigating college life, Alex considers what it means to remain attentive to the cultural waters we swim in and how a classical Christian education equips students not only to think critically, but to love rightly and live wisely. This episode is a thoughtful reflection on formation, friendship, leadership, and the enduring gift of a school that becomes home.
