Chestnut Hill Academy is a private, secular, co-ed day school recognized for providing an exceptional learning environment that emphasizes high academic standards, a low student-to-teacher ratio, and a wide array of meaningful enrichment activities. 

Since 1998, CHA has been dedicated to developing global leaders one child at a time and is an accredited Leader in Me school. The school strives to develop intelligent, thoughtful, and caring leaders with educated hearts as well as educated minds. We never lose sight of why we are really here, and that is to prepare children for further academic challenges and to guide them to be responsible, compassionate, and active leaders of the world.

The academic program at CHA is notably challenging, but sufficiently flexible to meet the individual needs of children with varying degrees of readiness and ability. Although significant attention is given to the academic subjects and the co-curricular programs of Spanish, Music, Art, Computer Science, Physical Education, and Library, we believe that the growth of the whole child, including his or her attitudes and values, is as important as any particular academic discipline, knowledge, or skill.

CHA strives to have a diversified student body. We are a community of learners who value and are strengthened by the wide variety of our members. We believe that diversity unites the academic environment and is of paramount importance in preparing our children for life in an increasingly diverse and complex society. We are a school where individual differences are respected, welcomed, and valued.

The only way to fully understand the magic of CHA is to see us in action. We invite you to schedule a time to connect and learn for yourself the school’s unique way of educating student leaders to be knowledgeable, confident, and resourceful learners.
