Overview
Located on a beautiful campus in Rolling Hills Estates with spacious classrooms, we provide individualized education to students in kindergarten through 8th grade in a warm and caring environment.
Small Classes. Big Education. Our teachers assess each child`s academic, social, and emotional profile to create a personalized learning plan for every student. Our small class sizes of around 12-15 students allow teachers to focus on each student`s individual learning needs.
A Loving and Caring Environment. Our students love coming to school. Our teachers bring joy into the process of learning and discover what inspires each student. It is in this type of environment that children are free to take risks, grow academically, and are encouraged to be their best selves.
A Commitment to Character Building. Our teaching of the character qualities caring, respect, attitude, gratitude, and self-control has its roots in the founding of our school and is integrated into classroom discussions and curriculum every day. A strong character coupled with strong academics enables students to lead a meaningful life.
Chadwick, a K-12 school founded in 1935, is dedicated to the development of academic excellence, exemplary character and, self-discovery through experience.
We live in accordance with our Core Values of Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, Fairness and Compassion. Through active participation in a diverse school community, students prepare to contribute meaningfully to their local, national, and global communities. Talented and caring faculty and staff cultivate in each student the joy of learning, self-confidence, well-being, and the individual gifts that each possesses. By living and learning in an atmosphere of integrity and trust, students come to expect the best of themselves and others.
