What Distinguishes Chapin?

 

Why A Girls' School?

At a girls’ school, girls are the presidents and vice presidents of student government, they are the entire robotics team and they are the first to have their hands raised to solve a quadratic equation. At Chapin, each athlete, editor-in-chief, performer, poet and peer leader is a girl. Girls have complete access to every aspect of school life. Every day, Chapin girls practice the essential skills that will allow them to thrive and lead in the world beyond their K-12 experience.

  • Girls who attend all-girls’ schools outscore their co-ed counterparts on the SAT by an average of 28 to 43 points
  • Nearly 100% of girls’ school grads go on to college
  • Three times as many alumnae of girls’ schools plan to become engineers
  • Girls’ school students spend more hours a week doing homework, attending study groups, tutoring others, and working with their teachers than co-ed school students.
