The Chestnut Hill School

The Chestnut Hill School is an independent, all-gender elementary school located in Newton, Massachusetts. The school is comprised of a preschool program (starting at age 3), an all-day Kindergarten, and Grades One through Six. At The Chestnut Hill School, we believe childhood optimism and enduring curiosity can transform the world. Here, students find meaning and joy in a diverse community that encourages all to question, to take risks, and to think beyond themselves. The Chestnut Hill School offers a robust curriculum that includes everything from art and music to technology and Spanish, along with traditional course offerings. An extended day program provides the chance for students to enjoy extracurricular activities like dance, karate, chess, and athletics in the same nurturing environment. The Chestnut Hill School is committed to offering financial assistance to qualified families.
