Cheshire Academy hosts special Community Weekends that transcend the traditional academic experience and contribute to the development of a stronger, more inclusive school environment. Required for both faculty and students, these enriching events bolster the core values that define us: a sense of belonging, active engagement, collaborative spirit, and personal and collective growth.
Our opening Community Weekend is mandatory for all students and faculty, and is considered a “closed” weekend in order to foster a sense of connection, collaboration, and collective growth.
