Chapel Hill Elementary School offers students entering Pre-Kindergarten through grade five a comprehensive, interdisciplinary educational program in a highly structured setting. Students are active participants in a challenging program which includes high expectations, instructional counseling, and challenging home study projects. The pursuit to challenging learning experiences leads to more research-centered assignments and hands-on projects requiring problem-solving and critical thinking.
