Overview
Chadwick's current enrollment is slightly larger than 800 students. Chadwick is divided into three sections: the Village School (K-grade 6), the Middle School (grades 7-8), and the Upper School (grades 9-12). Students represent a broad range of backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions. The scholars come from 30 different communities in Southern California, and 38% of the student body are people of color[3] This article is about the region of Southern California. ...
History The school was founded in 1935 by Margaret Lee Chadwick in San Pedro, CA. Then in 1938, thanks to generous donations from the Vanderlip and Roessler families the school moved to Palos Verdes, CA. Chadwick was an open air day and boarding school for 75 students. After the retirement of the Chadwick family in 1963, the school created a board of trustees. An endowment was set up of almost $20 million in 1968 to ensure the school’s financial stability. In 1972, Chadwick joined the Cum Laude Society. Since then, the school has grown with more buildings, a new gymnasium, and a performing arts center.[4] ...

Programs Chadwick school aims to create students with strong character, self knowledge, and academic excellence. The low teacher-to-student ratio of 1:8 and intimate class environment allows student to form close relationships with their peers and strong bonds with the faculty. The school claims that students gain self knowledge through many co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.[5] The school hosts 37 interscholastic sports teams as well as an outdoor education program.[6] It has an extensive theater department with dance, orchestra, drama, and chorus. Chadwick hosts weekly community service outreach opportunities in the community as well as internationally. Students receive a broad curriculum that includes English, History, Science, Math, Foreign Language, and Fine Arts.[7]
The Upper School hosts even more opportunities. Students have access to publications like the school newspaper, literary magazine, and yearbook. There are 17 advanced placement courses offered to students. Of the faculty 60% have advanced degrees.[8] The college counseling program oversees and preps students for every part of the application process. The director of the Upper School, Mark Wiedenmann, states that 100 % of Chadwick graduates gain acceptance to the top 10% of colleges and Universities in the United States. In addition, 80-90% of students gain acceptance to one of their top choices.[9] The school’s mission statement says, “In all of its programs, Chadwick seeks to discover and nurture the special gifts each student possesses; to deepen each student’s understanding of the complexities of the world; and to inspire each to realize his or her full potential.”[10]
Chadwick Athletic Logo [11]
Athletics The Chadwick Upper School is involved in athletics through the CIF Southern Section as a member of the Prep League. With 37 teams, Chadwick competes in 23 separate boys' and girls' sports. On average, almost 90% of Chadwick Upper School students participate in at least one sport each year.[12] Historically, Chadwick's two main rivals have been Pasadena Poly and Flintridge Prep. The Gold Cup, one of California's oldest rivalry trophies, changes hands each year in the annual Flintridge-Chadwick football game. After a decade-long losing streak, Chadwick won the Gold Cup in 2004 on a last-second score by current Duke wide receiver James Brooks. That 2004 Chadwick football team had a winning team for the first time in over a decade with the help of Brooks, Washington and Lee quarterback Daniel Kohl, Williams College Austin "Ace" Norris, and Washington University Offensive Lineman Daniel "Bowser" Fishman.

In addition to the classic athletics, Chadwick has invested in an outdoor education program. Each year grades 7 through 12 are broken up into random small groups and complete a 1-to 3-week backpacking trip. It is not a survival course. Guides are recruited from other notable programs like Outward Bound and National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). The Guides are also CPR certified, wilderness first responders, and carry satellite radios to contact logistics.[13] The program aims to build self confidence, independence, teamwork, environmental appreciation, and strong critical thinking skills. Outdoor education is one of Chadwick’s most popular assets. [14]
