From The Chapin School
Chapin’s rich educational tradition dates back to 1901, when Maria Bowen Chapin founded the school. Our mission is to prepare a diverse and talented community of young women to thrive and lead in a global society through a dedication to academic excellence, personal integrity and community responsibility. Our students are artists, athletes, computer programmers, engineers, musicians and physicists, often at the same time. From Kindergarten to Class 12, they all share a home at 100 East End Avenue, which encourages collaboration and life-long friendships and vibrates with their warmth and energy.

We love how nurturing Chapin has been for our daughter. She's finishing up third grade and absolutely adores the school, her teachers, and her classmates. She particularly appreciates library time and is eager to start using the middle school library next year. It's great having Carl Schurz park across the street, as the girls get many opportunities to play outside with their friends. The overall Chapin community is quite welcoming, and it's so nice to see how girls from all years know one another and say hi with a friendly smile when they see each other around the neighborhood. Chapin as a school has been very transparent, with regular detailed communications about whatever is going on. In particular, they've handled COVID with minimal disruption, with regular testing, tracing, and communications to the parent body.
Suffice it to say, we love Chapin and are so pleased to have our daughter attending school there!

Chapin from an academic standpoint is excellent. The teachers are dedicated and qualified; they care about their students and are engaged and immersed in the curricula. A highlight of the upper school is their english department, from attending Chapin I have become a better writer and communicator. The academics are rigorous and challenging and the school encourages students to peruse their interests. While the environment is competitive, it is also uplifting and supportive. Students often help each other with work and are always friendly in the hallway. The school is a great place to attend the only problem is the challenging adjustment student have if they transfer. Socially it’s hard to find one’s footing because everyone has known each other for years but despite that I strongly suggest the school. Other than the typical downsides of high school, this is a good school to attend.
I was a student at Chapin for K to 8th grade. Though I graduated HS over 10 years ago, it is heartwarming to know that Chapin hasn't waned in excellence and has gotten even more awesome technology and has been expanding. When I attended, I felt it was the perfect size. Not sure if grades usually still have around 50 people in them, but I hope they do. I am hoping to visit some time soon, though I might have to find a teacher I had back then to vouch for me, haha. I look super different. I hope they still have the delicious chocolate croissants! Also, I hope I'm able to work in the Lower School in the next few years.
