The facilities are on par with some of Canada's finest independent schools, offering 5 science labs, a dedicated art room, a performing arts centre, and a double gymnasium. Parents are comforted by the safety and security of the campus and find it overflowing with a wide variety of educational opportunities for their children.  On Campus At the heart of the facility, is the 5000 square foot Chatham Hall of Wonders, containing both treasures of play as well as an imaginative feast of learning opportunities. Student’s are delighted with the “wonder” of imaginative play inspirations they discover in the Hall of Wonders.  Students follow their hearts and can draw, paint, and explore the world of Art in "Picasso’s Garden", or they can explore in learning centres like "Einstein's Laboratory", the "World of Explorers" or they can let their imagination run free as they become immersed in reading for pleasure. These centres are devoted to celebrating global cultures, presenting science and discovery in a way that satisfies the inquisitive nature of children. The Hall also provides recognition to  student achievement in academics, athletics and community service.  These recognized students are “Knighted” by "The Chatham Order of Light" and become mentors to our younger students as they take on roles as leaders and champions of the school, and become our shining stars of achievement. But rest assured the children will have plenty of time for play in the Hall of Wonders.  The safe cushioned floor and indoor play centre is a perfect setting for play, excise and having fun.  Off-Campus Off campus, students will explore the rich history and local industries unique to Chatham-Kent, visiting maple farms, historic sites, and museums. On campus, students will enjoy outstanding facilities steeped in tradition. Home
