Living Our Mission
The Chestnut Hill School provides its faculty and staff with a wide range of opportunities for professional development. Funds are available to all faculty and full-time employees, including not just teachers but interns, administrators and support staff as well. Guest speakers are brought in on a regular basis to share their expertise during faculty meetings, and specially designated professional development days are set aside for more in-depth facultyand staff-wide training. Faculty members may also apply for special grants to help pay for more elaborate summer enrichment experiences, such as a trip to Cuba for the school’s Spanish teachers, an exploration of Alaskan volcanoes for one of the science teachers, and attendance at the International Children’s Chorale Festival in Japan for one of the music teachers.
