Schools After CHS

At Concord Hill, our students receive an extraordinary early childhood education that prepares them to be leaders at their next schools. One of the many gifts of the Concord Hill experience is the time and space it allows for families to get to know their developing child, which enables them to make the right next step in their child’s educational journey.

The outplacement process at Concord Hill is tailored to each individual third grade family. Our Outplacement Specialist partners with families to discuss the variety of school options available and spends time getting to know the third grade class through classroom visits and one-on-one meetings. If a child plans to apply to an independent school, our outplacement process guides families through the fall admission cycle and helps prepare students for any required visits. Our small student to faculty ratio enables each child to have a uniquely personalized recommendation from their teachers and the Head of School, who both advocate on behalf of every student. Ultimately, the team at CHS is there with families every step of the way to help them make an informed, and confident outplacement decision.
