Academic excellence in a challenging and supportive environment is the mission of The Chestnut Hill School. The school provides its students with a strong foundation of learning skills in a teaching environment which fosters self-esteem and empowers them with enthusiasm for and curiosity about discovering knowledge. Within an active community of students, faculty, and families, The Chestnut Hill School promotes respect between individuals and involvement with the larger community.
Through an interdisciplinary curriculum and a process-oriented approach to learning, the faculty encourages children to strive for excellence, to develop confidence in themselves and their abilities, and to realize their unique talents and creativity. Active exploration encompassing many voices and viewpoints allows children to experience the richness of many cultures and develop appreciation of a pluralistic world.
The school works in close partnership with families to ensure the warmth, diversity, and academic excellence that are characteristic of The Chestnut Hill School community.
We support creativity in all aspects of our coordinated curriculum. Our rigorous academic program embraces many perspectives, yet a coordinated curriculum ensures that nothing is taught in isolation. Subjects come alive because children’s hearts as well as their minds are engaged, and, as their curiosity is stimulated, they develop a love of learning. Children are encouraged to participate in their education by taking initiative, which allows them not only to build a strong foundation of academic skills, but to contribute to the education of their peers. Learning to be a vital part of a community through such collaboration, as well as through decision-making, problem solving, and values application, are essential elements of a well-rounded education.
