Open House at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy

Bring the whole family to fully experience the "New Face" of Springside Chestnut Hill Academy as you witness the power of possibility!

Comprising four single-sex divisions and one innovative coed Upper School, SCH Academy offers a curriculum "powered by possibilities" and designed to inspire every student's creativity and potential.

Our November Open House will offer something for everyone, with destination activities in every classroom. Come see firsthand what an SCH education can do for your child.

Here's a sampling of what you can expect:

LOWER SCHOOL GIRLS can try our Heart Adventure Challenge Course, take a Chinese class with the legendary "Miss Qiu," play iPad math games, and try out WeDo Robotics.

LOWER SCHOOL BOYS can try their hand at printmaking and collage, play with larger-than-life robots in the Robotics Lab, learn about our Outdoor Education program that features 20-mile bike rides, overnight camping, and nighttime hikes.

MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS can check out Mr. D's "imploding can" and other hands-on experiments in the science labs, see how 7th graders created an original script based on a favorite book, Coraline, and engage in an interactive foreign language brainstorming exercise.

MIDDLE SCHOOL BOYS will participate in a poetry workshop with award-winning poet and English teacher Iain Pollock, undertake a MapQuest challenge, and make their own music.

UPPER SCHOOL GIRLS AND BOYS will choose from a huge array of offerings from "Meet the Coaches" for aspiring athletes, individualized college counseling, a rehearsal (both choreography and vocals) for the fall musical Annie Get Your Gun, a spectacular printmaking demonstration, and of course, multimedia film production in our one-of-a-kind ViDCAST Studio with Dr. Ellen Fishman-Johnson.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Pre-registration closes at NOON on Thursday, November 3.
However, WALK-IN guests are always welcome—you can register at the door!

We recommend that you arrive promptly at 2:00 p.m. to get the most out of your experience. Families of BOYS park where directed at the Willow Grove Campus and register at the Rorer Science Center. Families of GIRLS park where directed behind the Cherokee Campus and register in the cafeteria.
