Achieve Your Best

Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall cultivates intellectual courage, creative ambition, and unwavering empathy.

CH-CH is a school where learning reaches beyond academic proficiency. They facilitate the growth and development of our students’ skills, interests, and abilities in a teaching environment that inspires inquiry, creativity, discovery, and collaboration. Because CH-CH students understand how they learn, they are persistent self-advocates, and they are thoroughly resourceful—skills that prepare them as students and as leaders.

CH-CH is a welcoming community where everyone is genuinely encouraged to be themselves. Students learn to seek out, connect with, and surround themselves with adults who inspire—not only through their passion for teaching, but also as mentors who model the qualities students seek for themselves.

The CH-CH community sees one another, hears one another, and works together to create an authentic culture of inclusivity. The result? Students who develop a sense of strength, engagement, and awareness that drives them to achieve their best.

Real Talk

We have been so happy with Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall. They have a terrific curriculum, a dedicated and talented suite of teachers and professional staff, and a beautiful campus. From the moment our daughter started at CH-CH, she was welcomed with open arms. We have been involved with other private schools for other children, and none compare to CH-CH in any aspect—academics, campus life and teachers/staff. Simply the best.

CH-CH Parent

When I toured CH-CH the first thing I noticed was the interaction between teachers and students. It seemed so open and relaxed, I could picture myself in an environment where I was able to have a voice, a say in my education.

There are not enough words to describe the level of care and engagement from the entire team of educators and administrators at CH-CH. Our CH-CH experience over the last four years changed the course of our daughters path immeasurably. From the first Sunday night Freshman year, when she had a question on an assignment, sent her teacher an email, and had a reply within five minutes, through her final athletics season. CH-CH has prepared her for the next chapter in her life—academically, socially, emotionally and physically.
