Summary: As noted in our curriculum guide, "Every day we strive to inspire our students to discover their talents and to leverage these talents to learn new skills and content. In many ways our classrooms have become more like laboratories than lecture halls, places where students engage actively in the process of discovery as they produce works of literature, science, and art.Along with our approach to teaching and learning, we believe that the curriculum we offer at CH-CH has the potential to transform our students as thinkers and learners. In keeping with our appreciation of diversity, our curriculum is remarkably rich for a small college preparatory school. At the beginning levels, we introduce students to foundational skills and content across the disciplines so that they will emerge prepared not only to succeed but also to delight in the electives they choose as juniors and seniors."

Summary: Chapel Hill - Chauncy Hall offers a rich variety of programming to engage and challenge students outside of the classroom. Our student life program aims to involve all students and develop well-rounded individuals. Students form, manage, and organize the clubs at CH-CH; the clubs are comprised of diverse offerings created in response to students’ needs, interests and talents. Our students build self-esteem and confidence; establish healthy relationships; overcome challenges; realize their excellence; grow their leadership abilities; and become independent. We also provide many opportunities for our students to become leaders and involved members of our community. For example, students can become resident advisors in the dorms, participate in student government, and partake in numerous opportunities for community service both on and off the campus. After a week of hard work and studying, the weekends are a time for students to have fun, explore, and relax with friends. There is always a full schedule of weekend activities for both boarding and day students to participate in. Our weekend activities coordinator makes sure that there is a variety of activities each weekend, including museum trips, trips into Boston, and outings to restaurants and shopping centers.

Summary: The goal of our College Counseling Program is to help students find the right college “match," where the student will learn effectively, enjoy and contribute to their next community, as well as reach his or her full potential. With the College Counseling Program students are armed with the requisite knowledge to make good decisions and submit applications that are both professional in quality and true reflections of each student’s unique personality, character, and ability.The centerpiece of CH-CH’s program is individual counseling. In formulating a college list, each student works with the Director of College Counseling to explore his/her academic and extracurricular interests and optimal school community, size, and location. Students consult with the counselor at each step of the process, such as developing resumes, writing essays, preparing for interviews, and completing applications. Through active and personalized interactions with students, the counselor and teachers are able to write very personal letters of recommendation that prove an invaluable component of student application packets.Several programs supplement this one-on-one counseling. The junior program begins in earnest in January and includes guest speakers, participation in college fairs, test prep opportunities, a financial aid seminar, and the beginning of regular and frequent individual meetings. During the junior year, students and parents also begin using Family Connection by Naviance – a web-based application that is a valuable resource to help students, parents, and the counselor work together throughout the college admission process.
