Springside Chestnut Hill Academy Reviews
Rating 4.11 out of 5 152 reviews
I've been at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy for 12 years now and I feel without a doubt the school has prepper me immensely as I embark on my college search. The academics are rigorous and engaging at whatever level you may need and the faculty are wonderful people and extremely helpful. Clubs and activites are a key part of the vibrant SCH community as well as sports which have become increasingly strong as time goes on. As a student of color, I would say SCH has at times not always felt like a "perfect" community and there have been various incidents in which I think the school should have responded better. I can definitely, however, say that over the years I have been here I have seen the school adapt and change and I believe over time they have made many great pushes for diversity. In all, I have had a great experience at SCH
SCH Academy is a tremendous school that produces dynamic, motivated, well-rounded graduates. The school has talented and devoted teachers and staff who nurture students and encourage them to be their best inside and outside of the classroom. Robotics, Engineering, and the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership are just a few of the programs that stand out and which differentiate the school from many of its peers. Set in a bucolic section of the City of Philadelphia, the campus borders Fairmount Park which provides a perfect backdrop for many of the outdoor experiential programs.
SCH is a wonderful place to work! The faculty and staff are brilliant and dedicated, and the atmosphere is collegial. Employees work each day to inspire curiosity and ensure that this is an inclusive place of learning.
