Interests/Activities/Extracurriculars of child(ren)

Why CA
“We chose Cheshire Academy because of their great academic program providing in-person advanced courses (i.e. Statistics) and IB classes. The diversity, orchestra, and sports were equally important. The school’s ability to accommodate international students and assist with travel gave CA the competitive edge in our decision process. Shuttle services to airports and the ability to remain on-campus during the short holidays were vital. My daughter felt comfortable with the students and faculty she met during our tour and decided this is the school for her.”

About me
“Our family has chosen CA multiple times for a number of reasons. First and foremost is the fact that CA doesn’t just say they meet students where they are, they actually implement this. We believe that CA is an investment in our children’s academic, social, emotional, and experiential well being. Being in the field of education myself and my husband being a child and adolescent psychiatrist, we truly advocate for the level of confidence, academically and socially, that CA has instilled in our children.”
