Twenty-Five Years of Assist

At Chatham Hall, we celebrate the power of connection, education, and opportunity for our girls and girls worldwide. For more than 25 years, our school has been proud to be an ASSIST partner, welcoming exceptional students from around the globe into our community. 

ASSIST is a non-profit international scholarship organization that fosters global understanding through education. Driven by passion, vision, and a commitment to building cross-cultural connections, ASSIST pairs outstanding students, ages 14 to 18, with leading private high schools across the United States, offering them life-changing scholarship opportunities. These ASSIST scholars don’t just attend classes; they enrich them. By sharing their unique perspectives, they transform discussions and inspire curiosity. Through their dedication to academic excellence and extracurricular pursuits, these students leave a lasting impact on their peers, teachers, and the broader school community. 

At Chatham Hall, we’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of the ASSIST program. Each student who has joined our school for more than two decades has brought a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and passion that has enhanced our community. These students embody the very essence of global citizenship, fostering understanding and collaboration that extends far beyond our campus.

This year, we welcomed Martha, Kathi, and Elisabeth from Germany, along with Maria from Mexico—our first student from the country. Each of them brought light, energy, and meaningful friendship to Chatham Hall, fully embracing every opportunity along the way. We are proud of our long-standing partnership with ASSIST and look forward to continuing to welcome these remarkable Scholars for many years to come as we shape a brighter, more connected world— one student at a time.
