History[edit]
The Chestnut Hill School was Founded in 1860 through a bequest in the will of Thomas A. Lee, who felt the community at the time needed not just a church, but a school. As a result of his bequest, the Lee Chapel (now the library) was built and served as the original schoolhouse. Initially focusing on early elementary grades, the school eventually expanded up to grade 6 in 1968. In the 1980’s, under the leadership of Karan Merry, The Chestnut Hill School became one of the first schools in the country to have a Multicultural Assessment Plan performed by the NAIS. The current Head of School is Tamara Schurdak.[2]
