K-12 Co-Educational Day School | About | Chadwick School

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been so engaged in a class that time flew by and you wanted to stick around after just to keep the conversation going. At Chadwick, that’s not the exception — it’s the norm. Our curriculum is designed to push students at every grade level to think deeply, ask questions and see ideas in new ways. This approach works because we prioritize creativity, balance and personal growth, which have just as much to do with student success as academics do.

A Chadwick student might spend their morning tackling advanced economics, their afternoon rehearsing for the school musical and their free periods developing a proposal to establish a new club at the school. With access to teachers, resources and each other, students build the skills, confidence and foundation they’ll need to continue growing through every step that follows.

When their hands are on, their minds are on.

When students are building, rehearsing, experimenting or presenting, they’re learning in the most lasting way. At Chadwick, hands-on learning happens across every grade and subject — programming robots in Upper School, dissecting a sheep brain in kindergarten, developing real-time comedy for the stage and everything in between. When students are actively involved, their understanding goes deeper, their curiosity keeps growing and they have fun while learning.
