Chatham Hall is a day and boarding school for girls in grades 9-12.
Girls thrive in and open up more doors for themselves when they attend a girls' school.
Yours is the voice and yours are the actions when leading, serving as a role model, and developing confidence and belief in yourself. Stepping into your power, you have the opportunity to choose courage over comfort as you explore your passions and build a life of your choosing.
At Chatham Hall, we believe that when a young woman steps beyond the boundary of her own comfort zone, she realizes the true power of her potential.
Every day across campus, you’ll discover your individual passions, learn to balance joy with challenge, gratitude with ambition, and to champion each other as you begin to weave together informed perspectives that will make up your worldview.
With endless opportunities illuminated before you, you’ll feel confident taking the first steps toward a life that is all your own.
