ABOUT US
The Chapin School, founded in 1901, is an independent, all-girls day school in New York City currently serving 802 students K–12.

Chapin’s institutional priorities continue to be imbued with the spirit of Focus Forward. We have fine-tuned our... articulation of the School’s purpose as we approach the third decade of the 21st century.
