School Reviews
5 6/22/2015
The Chapel Hill Chauncy Hall School has been a fabulous experience for our son in every way. Our son was a terrific student until high school, when some medical issues complicated his experience in the public school. He transferred to Chapel Hill in tenth grade and immediately began to flourish. The teachers are superb and provide weekly reports so that parents can remain informed about what is happening with their kids without having to micromanage the learning experience. The administration seems compassionate and particularly aware of the students' states of mind. The small class sizes are perfect for generating excitement about learning. The social vibe at the school seems very accepting and congenial, perhaps in part, because the school is too small to foster diverse cliques. The outside activities are terrific and help to generate a strong sense of community. Our other child attended Cambridge School of Weston, and although we also appreciated CSW's many attributes, we have been significantly more impressed with Chapel Hill.
