Review school

Chatham Hall was opened in 1894 by the Rev. C. Orlando Pruden as a regional school for educating young women of Southern Virginia and neighboring North Carolina. From the outset, the school�originally named Chatham Episcopal Institute�provided a rigorous academic program designed to equip girls for the challenges of the future. It was initially housed in the �Chatham Hall� estate of the late John Gilmer. Chatham Hall prepares girls for college and productive, fulfilled lives. We esteem equally the intellect and character of each student. A community of honor and trust, we value our Episcopal heritage and welcome students from diverse backgrounds. Our rigorous educational program encourages intellectual growth, creative development, and personal responsibility.
