We are an east coast boarding school located in Chatham, Virginia—a small town that is big on charm and bigger on travel opportunity.

Within 1-2 hours, we can be in Lynchburg, Roanoke, Raleigh/Durham Research Triangle, Greensboro, or Charlottesville. A drive of just over 4 hours puts us in Washington, D.C.
