Happy retirement, Deb and Carrie!

Thanks to everyone who visited our special reception for these two longtime CHS legends. It was amazing to see our CHS community come together to celebrate their many years on Hammond Street. Ms. Smith and Nurse Bloomberg will leave behind a lasting legacy at The Chestnut Hill School!

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

Our CHS community honored this year's graduating class with a meaningful ceremony on Friday. As sixth graders crossed the school seal on their way to the stage, they said goodbye to their Kindergarten Learning Partners and embraced their faculty advisors. Each graduate shared a speech about their time at CHS before receiving their diploma and celebrating the occasion with friends and family.

We are so proud of our newest alumni!

Pre-K Hawks had a special lesson in STEAM today, thanks to Mr. Jairo!

After spending time planting and growing herbs and vegetables, students in Pre-K harvested fresh food from their garden this week. With facilities team member Mr. Jairo's help, students snacked on freshly made tortillas filled with veggies! Hawks loved learning about the life cycle of plants and different kinds of herbs.

Beginners celebrated the release of classroom butterflies this week! 🦋🦋🦋

After learning about the growth cycle of butterflies — from eggs to caterpillars to chrysalis to butterfly — our youngest Hawks were excited to see their classroom friends fly off into the sunlight!

Great work, Beginners!
