Welcome to CH-CH Middle School!
Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall’s new Middle School. CH-CH is a special place and we are excited to offer our amazing program to younger students who will benefit from our thoughtful approach to teaching and learning. For years, we have heard from CH-CH families that they wished the School included a Middle School experience.
I look forward to welcoming 7th and 8th grade students, the Classes of 2029 and 2030, in the fall. In the meantime, please find more information about our program, community, and the application process, and if you have any questions, please complete the inquiry form below.

The CH-CH Approach to Middle School
At CH-CH, we know that every learner enters the classroom with a unique set of intellectual, personal, and academic strengths. In order to ensure achievement of essential skills and understandings, CH-CH teachers come to know their students well and provide them with a variety of entry points and academic strategies that allow them to leverage their individual strengths in the classroom. Middle School students are provided with both challenge and support as they come to understand how they learn best.

The Middle School takes a holistic approach to teaching and learning with overlap among content areas. The dedicated Middle School teachers work closely together, in conjunction with the Head of Middle School to provide a dynamic and supportive academic program. The Middle School follows a schedule (see below) designed to meet the needs of Middle School learners. Students have four 60 minute classes each day with breaks for recess, snacks/lunch, study skills, advisory, and more. The Middle School program also includes World Language (optional), visual and performing arts, physical education (optional), and health classes each week. The Middle School Academic day concludes at 3pm, when students move to co-curriculars with the option to participate in a Middle School activity or join an Upper School sport or activity.
Campus and Spaces
The Middle School home is in the Learning Commons, the space which originally housed the Chapel Hill School when it began back in the late 19th century. Following a recent renovation, the space houses four classrooms and the large, flexible Learning Commons. Middle School students and faculty have dedicated space for the many endeavors they engage in, from group projects to presentations to quiet study time.
Middle School students and faculty also have access to many other wonderful teaching & learning spaces on CH-CH’s 42-acre campus, both indoors and outdoors. Science classes take advantage of the School’s MakerSpace, the Gostylo Greenhouse, and other outdoor spaces. When a project calls for artwork, a theatrical presentation, or musical performance, Middle School students make use of the Art Studios and Mankiw Theatre in the state-of-the-art Visual & Performing Arts Center.
Community and Opportunities
Middle and Upper School students will join together in several areas of community life, including Assemblies, Winter Carnival, and Community Service activities (both during the academic week and on weekends). CH-CH has a robust co-curricular program with a wide range of opportunities and all students participate in an afternoon sport or activity each season. Middle School students may play sports on an Upper School team, open to both new and seasoned athletes, audition for the Winter Musical where no one is cut from the cast or crew, or join other activity offerings. There will also be activities reserved exclusively for Middle School students.
