Open Quote my children attend Chestnutwold and I continue to be impressed by their child centered approach to learning. Chestnutwold is a Responsive Classroom school, where students have a vested interest in their classrooms and where students learn proactive ways to solve conflicts. They do a great job of building a sense of community, so that children enjoy being there everyday! They also have an amazing TV studio where 5th graders produce daily morning announcements for the entire school to watch! I can honestly say I am so happy that my children attend Chestnutwold. What a wonderful school! Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio
Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
