Summary: Day or night, weekend or weekday, our campus is alive with activity. Take a stroll around Chatham Hall’s 362 acres, and you’re likely to find students playing Twister, playing field hockey, and practicing everything from piano to French. You might find students gearing up to join the Appalachia Service Project – or getting ready to ride to the hounds. At Chatham Hall, life beyond the classroom is filled with opportunity and adventure. You’ll see how easy it is to find your niche (and learn a lot about yourself along the way).

Student Life

Summary: Weekends on campus are seriously fun. You might meet up for “Bad Movie Night” or attend a Pinata Throw-Down (hosted at a faculty house), whip up a gourmet meal (with a little help from a dorm parent), or get schooled in the fine art of tire changing. Depending on the season, you’ll also find students carving pumpkins, building gingerbread houses, and hunting for Easter eggs.

Off campus, there’s even more to do. The school regularly hosts ski trips to the Wintergreen Resort and shopping excursions to Durham, N.C., plus cultural jaunts to the North Carolina Art Museum and Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Another winter-term favorite? Ice-skating in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Summary: The college application process can be daunting – which is why we seek to guide students and parents every step of the way. Our comprehensive College Counseling program assists with everything from test preparation to visit planning to apllication processing. We make sure that all deadlines are met, and all questions answered. Ultimately our goal is to match each girl with the college or university that best suits her talents, interests, and abilities.

At Chatham, every student actively participates in the college preparation process. Students meet frequently with a college counselor and attend a college prep class that meets once a week for a full academic year (from December of the junior year through November of the senior year).
