Chadwick School, Private K-12 school in Palos Verdes Peninsula, California
Chadwick School is a private kindergarten through high school on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in California. The campus spans 45 acres with 22 buildings and 31 faculty residences serving approximately 860 students.
The school was founded in 1935 by Margaret Lee Chadwick and Commander Joseph Chadwick in San Pedro before moving to the Palos Verdes Peninsula in 1938. The relocation enabled growth on the larger coastal property.
The school maintains ties to South Korea through a sister campus in Songdo, allowing students to participate in exchanges and collaborative learning with peers overseas.
The campus is accessible from various neighborhoods, with students commuting from around 47 different zip codes across the region. Financial support options exist for families who need assistance with tuition costs.
In 2014, excavators discovered a sperm whale skull fossil from the Middle Miocene Era embedded in a boulder on the campus grounds. This paleontological find provides a window into the prehistoric history of the coastal region.
