Connecting and collaborating across continents
Chadwick School is our proud sister campus located on 45 stunning acres atop the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California. It’s where Margaret Chadwick’s vision first came to life back in 1935. While it’s grown significantly since then, it remains the only K-12 independent co-educational day school in the South Bay area. With a commitment to economic, social and cultural diversity, Chadwick School serves over 860 students from approximately 50 communities throughout greater Los Angeles.
Despite many distinctions between them, both Chadwick School and Chadwick International share the same guiding principles and Core Values of Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, Fairness and Compassion. They also share priceless connections over Telepresence video and in person. The Telepresence conferencing system allows students to meet and discuss common coursework in real time. Student exchanges between campuses and international conferences throughout the world give students from both sides of the globe a chance to build meaningful relationships face to face.
Having mutual accessibility between campuses means an expanded community and even more opportunity for global connections. Chadwick International students are instantly part of the worldwide Chadwick family, which includes our 5,000 alumni throughout the world. For students who want to attend college in the United States, the cultural experience and personal connections they gain from their counterparts at Chadwick School can be priceless.
