The Chapin School is a long-established independent girls' school on the Upper East Side, offering a rigorous liberal-arts education from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Beyond a demanding academic core, students engage in speech and debate, athletics, robotics, and the Hayot Center for Innovation, with extended day available to 5:45 PM. The school commits significant resources to financial aid, supporting roughly a fifth of its students. As an ongoing K-12 school, Chapin students continue internally rather than reapplying.
