Encourage and support faculty participation in workshops, conferences, school visits and travel directed towards the implementation of Chatham Hall's initiatives. Enhance faculty compensation and benefit package bringing salaries to the top quadrant of VAIS schools. GOAL II Ensure that Chatham Hall supports the individual student in a caring community. Chatham Hall is a community that nurtures each individual girl and celebrates her uniqueness. As a small school with an optimal teacher-student ratio, we are able to give the individual attention and nurture that developing adolescent girls need to be emotionally healthy and confident.
Faculty members engage with students as teachers, chaperones, and caring advisors.
Since almost all faculty members and their families live on campus, they represent positive models for the girls. They are readily available to drive girls on outings, give extra help, and attend art and athletic events. Alumnae attest to the caring and committed faculty they knew while at Chatham Hall and count their relationships with the faculty as a great strength of the school. At Chatham Hall our students have a safe, supportive environment in which to learn new skills and explore personal interests. Strengthen advising program and counseling support.
