Mccausland lower School & Commons

Perched along the Wissahickon, our Lower School is where students Pre-K to grade 4 learn and grow in a single-sex academic environment. The building also houses Doran Hall, named in honor of the Doran family, and is home base for Summerside Camps and After Care and Enrichment (ACE).

Historic Wissahickon Inn facade

Upper School in the Wissahickon inn

The Wissahickon Inn is home to the Exchange (main lobby), Upper School, and Head of School, as well as the College Counseling, Admissions, and Development offices, The Alumni Relations and Communications Departments are also located in the Inn. Built by Henry Houston in 1884 as a grand resort on the highest point of land overlooking the Wissahickon Valley, the Inn had 250 rooms and was popular for summer guests who wanted to escape the heat of Philadelphia. In 1898, Chestnut Hill Academy moved into the Inn during the school year, and the hotel operated during the summer months. Two years later, the hotel ceased its operations and the school took over the facilities year round.

Amphitheater

On the edge of the Wissahickon, and just steps outside the Lower School cafeteria, the amphitheater is enjoyed as an outdoor classroom and performance space. The rocks used to form the seating and steps were found right in our backyard when the McCausland Lower School and Commons was being excavated!
