Science

Be ready to question, observe, experiment, and evaluate as you study such subjects as physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science, and more.

Through our dynamic curriculum designed to prepare you for future study, you’ll learn to inquire purposefully, think critically, and judge wisely. You’ll also get the background needed for further scientific pursuit—which many of our students opt for in college. In fact, according to the International Coalition of Girls Schools, girls’ school graduates are six times more likely to consider majoring in math, science, and technology compared to girls who attended coeducational schools.

Before joining the Chatham Hall community in 2017, Kirsten Blaesing was already familiar with the girls' school environment from receiving both B.S. and M.A.T. degrees from Sweet Briar College. In addition to teaching biology here at Chatham Hall, Kirsten coaches and works with the student programs team. Her favorite things about the School are getting to know the whole student and what they are passionate about inside and out of the classroom.
