A Letter From Our Director
At Chippingford, we believe childhood is sacred. It’s a time not just to prepare for the future, but to live fully—learning, playing, wondering, growing. That’s why we built an educational community where children are known deeply, guided intentionally, and inspired daily to become who they were created to be.
We exist to help young people seek truth, realize their potential, and know themselves as children of God. This isn’t just a mission statement—it’s our heartbeat. You’ll find it in the quiet moments of reflection, the joy of discovery, the strength found in challenge, and the deep relationships formed between students, educators, and families.
Our vision is to grow a community of learners who not only master academic skills, but also who grow in virtue, self-understanding, and purpose. At Chippingford, learning is not about checking boxes or racing to keep up—it’s about honoring the pace of real growth. With small groups, personalized learning pathways, and educators who teach with both excellence and empathy, each child is free to flourish.
We ground our days in timeless virtues—prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance—as well as the spiritual values of faith, hope, and love. These guide our actions, shape our community, and remind us of who we are and what we’re capable of becoming.
We believe in cultivating both hearts and minds. In our classrooms, in our outdoor spaces, and through every part of our curriculum, students are invited to wonder, to wrestle with big ideas, to play, to create, and to live as fully engaged human beings.
Chippingford is more than an educational environment. It’s a place where students are formed—not just taught—and where childhood is treasured, not rushed. We invite you to come see what that looks like.
Warm regards,
Jeff Hilger
Director of Education
“We have two daughters, ages 5 and 9. We explored several educational options after coming from a traditional private school, but none came close to the experience we found here. The teachers cultivate an environment where curiosity thrives and confidence grows, bringing academics to life in meaningful and inspiring ways. It’s unlike anything we’ve encountered before, and we feel genuinely fortunate to be part of this community!.”
