Kelston Formation Roadmap
At every stage of a boy’s journey, Kelston seeks to accompany both him and his family, helping him grow in character, faith and maturity through mentoring, friendship and formation.

Boys develop good habits and virtues through mentoring, encouragement and correction. They are challenged to seek the good in how they behave at Kelston, at home and at school, learning from their mistakes and growing in responsibility.
Faith
Boys learn the Church’s essential vocal prayers by heart—including the Angelus, St Michael Prayer and Anima Christi—and receive the foundations of the Catholic faith and sacramental life.
Family
Families are accompanied through mentoring, regular communication and practical guidance as they support their son’s growth.
Seniors
