The Chandler School is located
in a residential neighborhood in northwest Pasadena.
The four and one-half acre campus overlooks the Arroyo
Seco (at the Rosebowl), and the view is spectacular.
There are beautiful old pine trees outside the older
campus buildings, which house grades K-5. The school
has a great athletic field which sits between the
upper and lower school buildings. |
There are upper and lower school libraries, two computer
labs, three science labs, a music room, gymnasium, and
performing arts auditorium. Computers abound. They seem
to be everywhere; in the the classrooms, the library,
and the science labs. The upper school building, completed
in 1972, has a distinctive, tower staircase and won
an architectural design award from the Pasadena Beautiful
Foundation.
The kindergarten is in a separate,
hexagon-shaped room built on stilts, which once housed
a sandbox. The sandbox portion was eventually enclosed
to make room for a second kindergarten class, and this
space has a low-ceilinged, ‘basement-like’
feeling to it. The upper kindergarten classroom is glorious.
Artwork and children’s daily paperwork cover every
available wall space. The ceilings are high and vaulted,
and there are windows all around. There’s something
so fun and upbeat about a great big round room, and
kindergartners are just the kind of little people you
want to see enjoying it.
