At Chatham Hall, we ignite the light for others. We fully re-imagine the way in which we educate girls—encouraging them to step into their power. Chatham Hall students come to appreciate that anything is possible.
With a 130-year legacy, Chatham Hall alumnae, families, faculty, and staff continue a tradition of generous and loyal philanthropic support to benefit tomorrow’s emerging luminaries.
We thank our donors who carry out this tradition each year, and invite you to join our legacy of support.
