The School

Chatham Hall is a grades 9-12 girls' boarding school located in southern Virginia. The beautiful campus, which is situated on 365 picturesque acres, is the ideal setting for encouraging students to engage in meaningful reflection, foster lasting friendships, and provide a respite from typical distractions. The school community at Chatham Hall, which has a projected enrollment of 135 students from 15 different countries and 14 different states for the academic year, welcomes all who value a girls' education. Grounded in an Episcopal heritage, the warm and welcoming environment helps everyone in the community to feel at home and included. The breadth of diverse perspectives, faiths, ethnicities, and backgrounds create a campus rooted in empathy and respect. The school employs 29 teaching faculty members, 72% of whom have advanced degrees. These faculty members, along with the staff, encourage each student to take on new challenges and carry out the school's mission to "equip curious thinkers to lead lives of impact." Every member of the Chatham Hall community lives with dignity, integrity, and balance, which is a highlight of the experience.

With an impressive $64.5 million dollar endowment, Chatham Hall is a leader in financial sustainability among all-girls schools. Chatham Hall has recently launched its $35 million dollar Boundless Potential Campaign which will fund the ambitious initiatives of its current strategic plan, entitled Empowering Girls to Better the World. The initiatives in this inspirational and aspirational strategic plan will help Chatham Hall to become the top girls' boarding school in the southeast.
