Today, Chandler is a thriving K-8 school with 450 students on a 4.5-acre campus in a beautiful residential neighborhood close to the center of the city.
Since its founding, Chandler has placed a high emphasis on a superb and challenging academic program within a warm, caring, and supportive school community.

We strive to have our students gain a love of learning, a means of thinking independently and an ability to work collaboratively. A Chandler education seeks to develop good character, self-reliance and a commitment to community in students as a foundation for academic and personal success.” For over 70 years, Chandler’s teachers, faculty and students have been committed to exemplifying and advancing the Six Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.

Chandler School was built on a legacy of educational excellence and is well known and respected as one of California’s finest K-8 schools.
