Discover how the Chartwell Teaching Institute (CTI) is revolutionizing literacy for over 42,000 students annually, expanding its reach through key partnerships and new state funding to equip educators with life-changing, evidence-based teaching methods.

At the beginning of October, 50 high school students and 10 Chartwell team members journeyed to Ojai, California, for three days of exploration, bonding, and fun. The overnight trip encompasses many of the key components from the high school program - outdoor education, social-emotional learning, and fostering a sense of exploration and curiosity.

Chartwell School is proud to announce that it has received a $20,000 grant from the American Water Charitable Foundation (AWCF) in support of its Outdoor Education and Watershed Stewardship Program. This award will help expand Chartwell’s outdoor learning spaces, promote environmental stewardship, and strengthen community engagement through hands-on education.

The Chartwell Education Plan is more than just a goal-monitoring document; it is a dynamic roadmap built around the unique needs of each student. By assessing progress three times a year, utilizing the SMART framework, and remaining completely flexible, the CEP ensures that every student's educational experience evolves as they do.

Chartwell School hosted its inaugural Community Breakfast on Thursday, October 2, bringing together nearly 90 leaders from the business, education, health, and civic sectors for a morning of learning, inspiration, and connection. The event raised over $25,000 for Chartwell School’s programs, tuition assistance, and our outreach program, Chartwell Teaching Institute.

High school teacher Joseph Shannon recently won the Flint AI Innovative Educator of the Month award for transforming literature and philosophy classes using generative AI. Discover how he turned classic characters like Winston Smith and historical figures like Plato into engaging chatbots that sparked authentic student collaboration and critical thinking.

To further grow Chartwell’s social-emotional academic development (SEAD) program, a new set of universal expectations was unveiled for the 2025-2026 school year: empathetic, inclusive, responsible, and respectful. While “universal expectations” may sound like a formal term, these expectations are just a new way of describing the positive behaviors and values that Chartwell wants to see every student develop, from the youngest learners to the oldest.

Chartwell’s online learning program is a unique, specialized approach to education for students in grades 4-12 across the world. The program currently serves eight students and is led by program director Bailey John. The program allows students to receive the education they deserve in an environment that works best for them.
