View Our Tuition Frequently Asked Questions How does Chesterbrook Academy Elementary West Chester prepare students for middle school? Middle school readiness at Chesterbrook Academy is defined by a mastery of both advanced academics and soft skills that are essential for long-term success. We engage our students in critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving, skills that mirror the complexities of the middle school environment. Through our Leading Lions program, students embrace leadership roles that require public speaking, project management, and peer mentorship. By the time they graduate, our students have cultivated a strong toolkit for success, including self-advocacy, time management, and accountability. Where do Chesterbrook Academy Elementary West Chester graduates go? Our graduates go on to a variety of strong middle school programs, including both public and private schools in the West Chester area and beyond. We take pride in the fact that a Chesterbrook foundation provides families with a wide range of “best-fit” secondary options, knowing their child is prepared to thrive in any rigorous academic setting. How does my child transition from a Chesterbrook Academy sister preschool in West Chester, Exton or Malvern? For families joining us from our sister preschools in Exton, Malvern, or West Chester, the transition is designed to be as seamless as it is exciting. Because we share a common educational philosophy, students arrive with a sense of familiarity and belonging on day one. To bridge the gap between early childhood and elementary school, we facilitate our Big Steps, Little Feet program. This unique initiative brings current Elementary students to our preschool campuses to mentor and connect with younger learners, helping them feel even more confident and excited to start.
