Who will they become? What will they accomplish? Where will they end up? How will they get there?

The possibilities for your child are endless. And it all starts with an exceptional education. We’d love to connect and discuss the ways in which Chadwick can help uncover, nurture and develop the skills and values that your child will use to make their own unique, lasting and positive mark on the world.

Inquire

It’s time to dive in! Completing an inquiry form creates an account that gives you access to our admission portal, which is where you can book a tour, register for admission events and begin the application process. It will also keep you updated on important news, information and opportunities by adding you to our regular newsletter. 

In our world, we call this portal “Veracross” — if you hear us referring to it this way, know that you’re in the right place!
