Thrive and Shine 2026
You're invited to join us once again for our upcoming Thrive & Shine event on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at the Portola Hotel and Spa beginning at 5:30 pm. This event is more than a night out (though it will be a fun one). It’s a powerful way to support the programs that help Chartwell students thrive—today and for years to come. Proceeds from the evening directly fund the educational experiences, specialized teaching, and joyful moments that define a Chartwell education.

This is your moment to express your unique style, so have fun with it! Whether you go retro-inspired or simply bright and festive, come dressed for an evening filled with energy, creativity, and purpose.
