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 "under one roof" at 100 East End Avenue, which encourages collaboration and life-long friendships and vibrates with their warmth and energy.

Rating 4.52 out of 5 103 reviews
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 has been an excellent school for our daughter, who started in Kindergarten. The interdisciplinary program is well-rounded, challenging, and supportive at the same time. The teachers are dedicated professionals who know your child in every aspect of their learning and most of the teachers have been at Chapin for a very long time! The parent body is warm and very engaged, and there are a lot of opportunities for parents to get involved.
My daughters have been at Chapin since Kindergarten, and are now in Middle and Upper School. Chapin is a wonderful nurturing, kind, inclusive environment with strong academic rigor. The students are confident, eloquent and ambitious. Chapin fosters a love of learning and supports students in exploring what the world offers outside the four walls of the building. In addition to a very elaborate curriculum, there are numerous opportunities for collaborations, research and independent studies with top institutes in the United States and abroad. Our daughters (who couldn’t be more different) are constantly engaged in after-school sports, theater, debate, robotics, clubs and much more. There is something for every child’s interest.
With the recent additions to the building, we now have a regulation size Gym, and sports rooms, a floor dedicated to the arts with rehearsal rooms and a state of the arts robotics lab. My daughters are thriving and loving every minute of their days at Chapin.
