Where is Chamberlain International School located?

We are located on 12 picturesque acres in a small New England campus. We are 40 miles from both Providence, R.I. and Boston, MA. Both cities have major airports and Amtrak train stations. We are located in an area close to a wide variety of colleges.

What is the make up of the Chamberlain student population?

Chamberlain is co-educational with 98 boarding and 20 day students, typically 60/40 males to females. Students range in age from 11-22 and are in grades 6-12. Some students stay beyond grade 12 to participate in a transition program which may involve an apprentice program, college studies or both. All of our students are faced with challenges academically and/or emotionally that have made it difficult for them to succeed in a more traditional school setting.  Students come from across the United States and from foreign countries. Chamberlain is SEVIS approved by the U.S. Government to accept foreign students.

Chamberlain does not provide scholarships or financial aid at this time; however, admissions personnel will be happy to work with you to let you know where you may be able to seek some financial assistance through loans or other funding sources.

Because Chamberlain offers comprehensive and individualized services, tuition costs may depend on a number of factors. Please contact the admissions office to discuss further the costs associated with enrolling.

How long does a student typically stay at Chamberlain?

A student's length of stay varies widely due to their own individual needs and specific goals. The average length is 2 years; however, some students may have a shorter stay and others much longer. Each student's anticipated goals and length of stay are discussed upon enrollment and updated at six month intervals.

What types of activities do students do after school and on weekends and holidays?

Students have a wide variety of activities after school, on weekends and during school vacation breaks. They range from afterschool study hall, classes at the Burt Wood School of Performing Arts, sports, dances, trips to local attractions and into Boston or Providence for cultural or sporting events and everything in between.

When do students visit with their families?

All students are required to stay on campus for the first two weeks to familiarize themselves with the school schedule and programming. After that, students have their own individual visit plan depending on many factors. Families work with their son's or daughter's therapist to determine the best visit plan for their own circumstances. Chamberlain is open and staffed 365 days and follows a 12-month academic schedule. Please refer to the calendar on this website for further details.
