Mars Rover STEM Project
The sixth-grade Mars Rover STEM project challenges students to recreate the Mars Rover landing using practical skills and collaboration. Students either designed a robotic Rover and collaborated with AP Physics students to calculate the exact release time, or used computer coding to create digital models to look for water on the surface of Mars. So impressive, we have stars in our eyes!

Chadwick School Reviews
Chadwick is not PERFECT! Their sports programs aren’t the best. Sure our 8-man Football Team has had two undefeated regular seasons. That success is due to a special team of coaches that came in a few years ago. They’ve instilled the TEAM concept into the players and have also held them accountable. Their coaching principles should be implemented to the other sports coaches.
The diversity on campus has always been MIA. We are on our third Director of Equality & Inclusion since I’ve been here. With all the talk of tradition and wanting to adhere to Margaret Chadwick’s visions, there's A LOT of work to be done. Many of the adults on campus claim to hold our core values of respect, responsibility, honesty, fairness, and compassion into their daily lives. I beg to differ.
That, together with an expansive and secretive board of trustees and administration who believe they are accountable to no one and lack even basic and civil communications skills, has led to a push back on its global vision by many of its stakeholders.
