Throughout our comprehensive, four-year program, students begin to see this journey through the lens of self-discovery, curiosity, confidence, and authenticity. College week gives seniors a week in early fall to either plan off-campus interviews and college visits or engage in on-campus workshops on application writing, interview practice, financial aid, and more.

Why CHAI?

An Exploration of Campbell Hall Advanced Inquiry (CHAI) Courses
A pivotal 2016 report by the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Making Caring Common Project, endorsed by over 150 college admissions deans nationwide, called for a shift in how student achievement is defined, emphasizing intellectual engagement over traditional metrics.

In response, Campbell Hall conducted a thorough review of its curriculum to identify courses that foster inquiry-driven learning. The school reassessed its Advanced Placement offerings and, guided by these findings, began developing a distinctive set of college-level courses rooted in deep, meaningful academic exploration known as Campbell Hall Advanced Inquiry (CHAI).
