Do your parents have the social status and the money to get you into
one of these upper east side schools? How long have you been waiting
to get on the waiting list?
What does it take to stay in school, when you already have enough
money for the rest of your life? Motivations, maybe dating?
Friendships with power families? Sex, drugs, drinking parties?
Chapin School

In Chapin’s rigorous liberal arts curriculum, students are instructed and supported by a dedicated, distinguished faculty. Small class size ensures individual attention in each of the three divisions: Lower School (Kindergarten through Class 3), Middle School (Classes 4 through 7), and Upper School (Classes 8 through 12). Through a well-rounded academic program that encourages original thought and exploration, the school achieves a balance between freedom and structure, independence and support, individualism and cooperation, and innovation and tradition.

The activities that fill Chapin’s classrooms in the late afternoons and evenings are as diverse and exciting as the things that happen during the school day. In addition to their academics, Upper School students define themselves and express their personalities and interests through their extracurricular lives — examining media representations of women in Media Arts Club, writing fiery editorials as members of the student newspaper, choreographing original hip-hop routines in Dance Club or arranging popular music for one of the a cappella groups. They also come to the forefront as leaders of these groups, taking on the role of president or secretary.
Student life at Chapin reflects fun with a purpose. Students decide what their clubs should accomplish, working closely with a faculty advisor, and then they plan events and raise money needed to accomplish their goals. It’s not uncommon to see environmental club members selling make-your-own sundaes to fund their events, or to see students in the Drama Club making posters to advertise their latest production to potential audience members. The entire school community, including younger students and teachers, is interested in what Upper School clubs and their leaders have to say.
Chapin also offers its students ways to keep busy in the evenings and over the weekends, should girls want to spend time with their friends and meet others. A weekend in the fall might find students on a school-sponsored trip to Great Adventure, while on a winter Friday they might board school-charter buses to Killington for a long weekend of skiing with their classmates. Upper School students have film nights, Club Night performances, a semi-formal and other social events with students from other schools.
Ms. Harmony Skillman, director of student life, is happy to answer questions about the extracurricular activities that Chapin offers. She can be reached at skillman@chapin.edu or 212.570.4941.

Welcome to New York's Upper East side where the wealthy and connected mingle at benefits and try to deal with their always dramatic love lives, not to mention picking colleges. Blair Waldorf is the so-called toast of adolescence in her world; she and her friends, Kati Farkas and Isabel Coates, go to a prep school and fancy parties with their rich parents. Blair is envied by her adversaries because she is thought to have the perfect life, not just because of her gorgeous boyfriend, Nate Archibald, but because she's also planning on getting into her dream college,Yale. With everyone worried about college(or procrastinating on worrying, which everyone seems to be doing), and senior year dragging along, her seemingly perfect life is interrupted by her ex-best friend, the beautiful Serena van der Woodsen, coming back into town after getting kicked out of boarding school. Serena comes back into her life, and into the eyes of Blair's boy friend. When everything Blair knows starts to fall apart, everyone will realize that her life is far from perfect. Will life in the the Upper East Side redeem itself of what it's really supposed to be? Or will the false facade reveal that the rich have the same problems as the not so rich (Jenny and Dan Humphrey), if not more. And just maybe Jenny and Dan are all the more happy with their simple, not so expectant lives.

there are certain private schools that are in a network called the "ivy prepratory school league". it consists of just a few schools and its only in the New York area.

It might not be widely know elsewhere in the country, but it certainly does exist, and is well known in the city. It costs $31,000 a year for high school

hey. so the thing is, there are a lot of schools on the UES that are attended by the general type of gossip-girl kid that you are talking about... but gossip girl itself is based on the nightingale bamford school at 92nd and madison... i'd say spence and brearley are the closest ones to being near gossip girl aside from that, and for the boys, collegiate, st. bernards and browning boys are generally considered the best. dalton and trinity (despite that t. is on the upper WEST side) are best fit for co-ed.
What's most hilarious to me is how blatantly ignorant of the UES culture you prove yourself to be by posting things like this. Seems a bit tacky to display raw contact information like that. What's the point?
it truly offends me, a student in the ues, that people view us in this way. we all work extremely hard in order to stay at the schools we go to, especially those of us at brearly, chapin, and spence. (the three best academically.) i know that many of us are born into privileged families but that has nothing to do with who we are as students. please do not undermine the work we do every day while we all take 3-5 AP courses, participate in countless extracurriculars, and bearly sleep while kids anywhere else may not even take one.
