Since
1861 we have been preparing boys and young men for college and for
their role in society and the world.
A Nobel Prize winner, a Secretary of Defense, an Assistant Secretary of State, a
Harvard valedictorian, United States Senators, an Oscar Award winner, countless
CEOs, several Olympians, a New York Times journalist, actors, the author of the
“Shadow Mysteries,” a Brigadier General, a World Series champion pitcher—all
graduates of a boys’ school.
All graduates of Chestnut Hill Academy.
We are a school for boys. We are much more than just a school without girls. We enjoy boys. We love
and are inspired by their enthusiasm, their energy, and their compassion. Capitalizing on their strengths,
we recognize that there are many areas in which boys excel and we allow each boy to devote time to
where it will have the greatest impact on his path to success. As a school just for boys, Chestnut Hill
Academy can focus on the task to honor, respect, celebrate, challenge and grow the whole boy: intellectu-
ally, morally, physically. Just as men and women may think differently, react differently, learn differently,
experience emotions differently—so, too, boys and girls have differences. A single sex environment can
be a great asset for many students. Single sex education allows the teacher, the curricula, and the school
culture to focus on what best suits boys.
First introduced in 1901, the Academy Seal stands for the
qualities found in the ideal boy: Service to the Academy,
Character, Academic Excellence, Leadership, and Health.

6. A ll boys and young men have the capacity for innumerable dimensions, and, at CHA,
we challenge them to develop their multitude of known and unknown talents and interests.
We believe that in every boy there is a scholar, an artist, a
musician, and an athlete. As they become young men, it is
our role to encourage, challenge, and celebrate the many
aspects of each individual’s boyhood and manhood, and to
help them realize these many facets of themselves.
An environment and culture essentially absent of gender
stereotypes and gender-based roles is an important advan-
tage. In a boys’ school, boys and young men play football,
run for class president, and write the editorial column of the paper. They also sing the a
capella solos, serve as president of the drama club, and install art shows. At Chestnut Hill
Academy, we revel in and challenge students to explore all the manifestations of what it
means to be a man.
In a school just for boys, everything we do is for and about and because of boys.

foundation of our three-

8. One School,
One Community
C hestnut Hill Academy not only celebrates the individual, it also celebrates its
diverse and fascinating community. Scholars, athletes, artists, leaders, scientists, volun-
teers, poets, thespians: there are innumerable ways to define our boys and young men.
Some boys walk on foot from around the corner while others arrive by carpool, train
or bus from more than 80 area zip codes. Representing every major faith, coming from
different family configurations, and from a variety of racial, socio-economic, and ethnic
backgrounds, the CHA family is diverse, talented, and interesting.
Chestnut Hill Academy actively seeks a wealth of perspectives which broaden our com-
munity and enhance the CHA education, adding depth to our daily life, both in and out of

10. The strongest academic preparation with a legacy of solid values
Academic Rigor, Intellectual Maturity
B oys begin the challenging and dynamic path towards lifelong learning in the Lower
School. Integrated studies capture their interest and give them a satisfying taste of becoming
experts through developmentally appropriate research and teamwork, guided by teachers
who have expert knowledge of each age’s exciting possibili-
ties. Through this process, the boys refine their skills, learn
to think critically, and realize that their ability to solve
academic challenges is growing dramatically. Moving into
Middle School, boys exercise course choices in their cur-
riculum for the first time and begin to receive traditional
letter grades. As the academic rigor increases with their
growing intellectual maturity, boys are introduced to longer
assignments, cumulative final exams, and the expectation of
more independent work. At this point they also further develop and expand the important

creatively and critically in co-operative
teams and individually.
As 100% of our seniors graduate to attend some of the best and most highly competitive
four-year colleges and universities, the Upper School’s program is focused on the necessary
preparation. The rigorous college preparatory program includes Honors classes and the
national Advanced Placement program, allowing students the opportunity to possibly earn
college credit before leaving CHA. Upon graduation, our boys have mastered impressive
curricula, fulfilling requirements in the sciences, English, history, mathematics, the arts,
music, and foreign languages.
Small class sizes give boys
opportunities to interact with
both classmates and teachers.

11. Honesty
a life based on the trust and respect of self and others

12. A Liberal Arts Education
At Chestnut Hill Academy we build the foundation for a lifelong dedication to learning
and the pursuit of the ideals of the artes liberales, a liberal arts education. A CHA education
values the life of the mind, promotes intellectual growth, and heightens character and moral
development. The experience of academic discourse and engagement in the community
are the means towards a rigorous and creative exploration of ideas, artistic expression, and
scientific inquiry.
Our Faculty, Our Foundation
The foundation of any excellent education, however, is its teachers. Without exception,
we boast a most dedicated, well-educated, and wise group of adults who serve as mentors,
leaders, educators, and teachers. While some members of the Faculty count their tenure at
CHA in mere months, others do so in decades. Guardians of tradition who have served the
field for years, master teachers serve alongside more recent college graduates who bring with
them the most contemporary techniques and ideas. Working together, all enjoy teaching

instruction, an approach that ensures each

13. The impact of our faculty on students
extends beyond simply teaching. A sin-
gular relationship between student and
teacher develops and lives outside mere
classroom walls. As coaches, advisors,
and activity directors, the members of our
Faculty take on many roles in the lives of
our boys. Their lives become one with the
school as they take on the time-honored
privilege of teaching.
Lifelong Learning
Exceptional preparation for college, a
foundation for lifelong learning, honorable
participation in society, and the tools nec-
essary to encounter the world as it unfolds
before each boy: these are the hallmarks of
a Chestnut Hill Academy education.

17. The Coordinate Program with Springside School
“One of the best two-for-one deals in education today.”
T his is how the Harvard Independent Insider’s Guide to Prep Schools describes our
Coordinate Program with Springside School, our neighbor and the oldest girls’ school
in Philadelphia. We developed this program nearly 40 years ago, realizing that
together we could do more for our students—boys and girls alike—than we could do alone.
With so many teachers, we can provide courses, electives, and varied perspectives usually
found only in larger schools. Over 100 courses in the Upper Schools, doubled academic,
athletic, and art facilities, and the largest combined library collection of any independent
school in Philadelphia are just some of the benefits.
Coordination actually begins in the Lower School where classes, from time to time, share
performances and curricular themes. Bringing together these young boys and girls provides
the first opportunities for the boys to develop friendships with their sister classes. In the
Middle School, contact with Springside grows dramatically: dances, field trips, community
service projects. Additionally, students come together for drama, bringing together all
available talents. Building on the programs and activities of the Middle School, Upper
School students have coordinate classes when it is developmentally appropriate. Starting
gradually in ninth grade, music, art, and foreign languages are shared with the sister classes.
By junior year, however, the curricula at both schools are fully coeducational.
The Coordinate Program
provides innumerable benefits,
including over 100 courses in
the Upper School.

18. Outdoor and Trips Program

number of day hikes and some overnights, take the boys to the world. School projects, novels, Pushing personal boundaries

done right on the Gettysburg fields, while cataloging flora and fauna takes place along
the Appalachian Trail.
Trips
In the Lower School, the program features a number of shorter outdoor hikes, allowing
for maximum exposure to the world around us. Each hike engages young boys’ minds
and bodies, as well as their need to explore, wonder, and challenge themselves safely.
Highlights include the Big Brother/Little Brother hikes, parent and son overnights, and a
week- long culminating experience in the fifth grade. Middle School programs, steeped in
academic preparation, start with the highly anticipated week of sailing with the Annapolis
Sailing School in sixth grade and then continue to include extended trips to the New Jersey
Pine Barrens, New York City, Gettysburg, and the Poconos. Finally, in the Upper School, the
ninth grade spends a rigorous week of academic study and research in Washington, D.C.
Life Lessons
A cross-curricular experience, this program allows boys to see the environmental studies
of science, the historical significance of their destination, and the stories of their English
classes all come together. Woven through this applied classroom education are the life Freshmen meet with members of Congress for

What Color Blue Are You?
For more than 75 years, CHA boys and men have formed allegiances
across grades as they belong to one of two teams: dark blue or light blue.
Each team is led by the student-elected color captains, and an all-out
field day takes place each spring. By the way, you’re always the same
color blue throughout your CHA years, and if your brother or father

24. Physical Education
The foundation for a successful athletic
program begins in the early years when the
focus is to develop physical skills, stimulate
coordination of body and mind, promote
self-confidence, and instill sportsmanship.
Physical education, after all, is how the boy
becomes aware of the many ways that his
body can function and serve him, the way to
maintain an optimal level of physical fitness,
and the way to understand its relationship
to mental health and social development.

skills at a series of stations around the gym.

part of a complete education that we require it of all our boys. From Lower School drama
productions to the Upper School’s Multicultural Student Association, students are
involved in an abundance of activities, clubs, athletics, and school organizations during
their years at Chestnut Hill Academy.
Through these campus organizations, each boy is given the opportunity to make a differ-
ence in the life of the school and its community members, to meet and work with other
students across the grades, and to explore and develop personal talents and interests. As
a member of The Players, it could be the successful staging and execution of T. S. Eliot’s
Murder in the Cathedral that moves the soul or a music student’s participation in performing
Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. Or maybe it’s a thought-provoking letter to one of the school
newspapers or a poem submitted to a literary magazine. Direct impact in the daily lives of
classmates is achieved by service in student government while a part in shaping the future
of the Academy is accomplished by serving in the Student Guide Association.
