Chatham Hall

Chatham Hall is an Episcopal boarding and day school for girls in grades 9 through 12, set in the small town of Chatham in southern Virginia. Enrollment runs between 101 and 200 students. That size keeps classes small and lets faculty teach to real students rather than to a roster.

The language program is wider than most schools this size. Faculty teach French, Spanish, Latin, and Chinese, and the school offers English as an Alternative Language for international boarders. Teaching jobs here usually extend past the classroom. Faculty advise students and take part in residential life, athletics, or weekend duty. If you want to see the same students in class, at dinner, and on the sideline, that is the job.

Compensation at a small Virginia boarding school usually blends salary with on-campus housing, term-time meals, and a retirement contribution. Housing quietly changes the math for resident faculty, since it pulls rent or a mortgage out of the monthly budget. Confirm the benefits details during an interview, because packages differ for day and resident staff.

The financials look steady. Chatham Hall reported about $91 million in net assets and $14.7 million in revenue in 2023, and fundraising grew roughly 32 percent year over year. Donor momentum like that tends to reach salary bands and professional development budgets over time.

Open faculty and staff roles cluster ahead of each academic year. Expect listings in teaching, admission, advancement, residential life, and coaching.
