Mccausland lower School & Commons
Perched along the Wissahickon, our Lower School is where students Pre-K to 4th grade 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 the After Care and Enrichment Center (ACE).
Center for entrepreneurial leadership
Home to one of SCH's signature programs, the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (CEL) space is in the heart of the Middle School building and encompasses a design/fabrication studio, an audio recording studio, classrooms, work spaces, and a green screen room.
Wissahickon inn / upper school
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, designed by the McCausland Lower School architects WRT, the Amphitheater is used as outdoor classroom and performance space just steps the back door of the Lower School. The seating was built from rock material sources on site and is location to the Chestnut Hill area.
