CH-CH Gains a Sister School in Beijing, China
On May 24, the Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall School Board of Trustees endorsed a Memorandum of Understanding that establishes our first sister school. The Jiayu School in Beijing, China may soon become the first of several partner schools located around the world. Our vision is to engage in formal, collaborative, mutual agreements with a few select international independent schools located on every major continent of the planet.
This global vision stems from the reality that while we continue to enrich our own campus community with students from a dozen different nations across the planet, we can and should be creating safe, transformational opportunities for international study and cultural immersion that cannot be replicated in any way. The goal is to provide unique educational opportunities that extend beyond our 40 acre campus here in Waltham.
Jiayu's Head of School Gary Malmon has visited our campus on multiple occasions in his quest to learn more about our operations and programs, particularly in the areas of ELL and Mandarin language. This summer Jiayu will be launching its four week Youth Leaders of America and China (YLAC) program that will give American students, including a couple from CH-CH, an opportunity to taste the benefits of an educational program based on cultural enrichment and foreign travel in parts of the world few Americans have ever visited. CH-CH faculty member Erica Knipp will be joining the YLAC program as one of the trip leaders and chaperones, as well.
Moving forward, we expect that CH-CH will continue to embrace and develop summer, term-long and full year student exchange opportunities for families' consideration. This will provide reciprocal exchanges for students and faculty that will only enrich teaching and learning at Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall. We are a school committed to preparing students for a future yet to be defined in an ever-increasingly global community.
