    Chantilly High school is a great high school in the Northern Virginia area in terms of many different aspects, from academics to clubs/activities. I transferred here in sophomore year and have overall had a great experience with the school and the opportunities that I've been given. There are many AP classes that students can take, there is also an academy where students can take elective courses to discover different subjects they might enjoy or would like to major in for their undergraduate degree. There is almost every sport you can think of, from soccer to swimming to even hockey for students to participate in, even ultimate frisbee! Overall Chantilly high school is a great school and anyone who attends will have an amazing four years to look back at.
    I love Chantilly High School! The teachers are all extremely knowledgeable, and truly push students toward success. Both the math and history department utalize unique teaching methods that help students fully understand the information, while english and science classes often engage in hand-on learning. Chantily is a great school all around!
