About Us

Visit & Stay

We are an east coast boarding school located in Chatham, Virginia, a quaint, warm small town that boasts 1,300 residents. While it prides itself on the friendliness and good manners of its citizens, Chatham’s location makes it really stand out. Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Roanoke, the Raleigh/Durham Research Triangle, and Greensboro are all within a two hour drive. This proximity translates into day and weekend trips to enjoy cultural, shopping and sports activities.
Contact the office of admissions at 434-432-5516 or admissions@chathamhall.org to schedule your visit to campus!
