Aren’t you curious?

What is behind the big red doors?

Stages, studios, playgrounds, fields, gardens, and even Gaga pits are all classrooms for a world that is constantly changing, and so are our traditional classrooms. At Chapin, we know that students learn best when they are inspired, challenged, and supported in every environment.

We are highly selective in choosing teachers who will have a lasting impact on your child’s experience and future. Our educators bring expertise, compassion, and creativity to every lesson, shaping confident learners and kind community members.

We prepare students for the world and for the future they will help create. Chapin students learn to ask questions, experiment, advocate for themselves and others, and treat one another with respect and kindness.
