Academics

At Chatham Hall, we prepare students for college and lives of purpose and creativity. Our academic program combines intellectual challenge with personal responsibility, encouraging students to deepen core knowledge while exploring new passions. With a responsive, student-centered curriculum and both foundational and advanced courses, students gain the skills and confidence to lead with insight and integrity.

Across every discipline, Chatham Hall students build critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills. In English, they grow as readers, writers, and speakers through rich texts and writing assignments. The arts foster creativity and confidence through drama, music, and visual expression. History and social sciences deepen global awareness and perspective-taking, while math and science inspire inquiry, experimentation, and applied problem-solving. Through world language study—Spanish, French, or Latin—students gain fluency and cultural understanding to navigate an interconnected world.
