From the Head of School
Dear Future CBA Family,
Thank you for your interest in Chesterbrook Academy Elementary School in West Chester. We are honored and thrilled to have the opportunity for your family to join our community. I would like to take a moment to share some important information about our school.
Since 1998, our school has been dedicated to providing personalized academic instruction while emphasizing essential 21st-century skills such as communication, creativity, and collaboration. Our primary goal is to educate students while introducing them to skills and experiences that will equip them for success in the present and future.
Our exceptional teachers create engaging learning opportunities that foster problem-solving, critical thinking, and project-based learning. These experiences are enriched with a culturally diverse curriculum. When planning lessons, our teachers carefully consider each child’s learning style, interests, and motivators. In our dynamic and flexible classroom environment, the teaching and learning process is ever-changing. On any given day, students may engage in lively debates about real-world events, collaborate on group projects, or participate in one-on-one conferences with their teachers.
We also recognize the importance of a comprehensive STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education in preparing students for the global economy. Starting in pre-kindergarten, our students are immersed in STEM education through challenging and enjoyable projects that encourage collaboration, decision-making, and innovation. To enhance this educational experience, we have implemented a 1-to-1 iPad program, providing each Kindergarten through fifth-grade student with their own iPad for interactive engagement with content and easy access to information. In recognition of our innovative use of technology in education, we were honored as an Apple Distinguished School in 2018. This distinction places us among an elite group recognized for transforming learning through technology.
We strongly believe that students thrive when parents are actively involved in their education. To foster a strong partnership between school and home, our vibrant parent committee organizes numerous family-centered events, supports our teachers, and contributes to our school community.
At Chesterbrook Academy, your child will BE SAFE, BE RESPECTFUL, BE THEIR BEST, and most importantly, BE A CBA LION!
I am eagerly looking forward to meeting with you to gain a better understanding of your child’s educational needs and discuss how we can collaborate to meet them. In the meantime, I encourage you to follow us on Twitter (www.twitter.com/cbawestchester), Facebook, and Instagram to catch a glimpse of the exciting activities taking place at our school.
Thank you once again for considering Chesterbrook Academy Elementary School. We are excited about the opportunity to welcome your family to our exceptional learning community.
