Chapin has a rich educational tradition dating 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. No matter what path a Chapin student chooses to explore while at 100 East End Avenue, she does it under one roof with all of her peers, providing her with a wealth of opportunities for friendship and collaboration. At the heart of the Chapin community is our passionate faculty. Thoughtful and innovative, Chapin teachers encourage students to become self-directed learners who value scholarship and creativity. Faculty members also work closely with students as advisors, mentors and coaches, nurturing the girls’ social, emotional and physical well-being. Whether you’d like to explore our curriculum from Kindergarten to Class 12, learn more about our arts program or step in to a science class, you will find in these pages that Chapin is a school where young women flourish
