History

In 1994, Chesterfield Day School-St. Albans was opened in St. Albans. A program for 7th graders was initiated there in 1998. The first upper school senior class graduated in 2004, and in 2007 grades 9–12 officially became St. Albans High School. By 2008, toddlers through grade 8 merged with St. Albans High School, creating The Fulton School at St. Albans, named in honor of Barb Fulton, the long-term head of Chesterfield Day School. [2] [ non-primary source needed ]

In 1999, a new $4.8 million campus was constructed. [3]

By 2006, the combined enrollment at the two locations was 425. The Chesterfield location served toddlers through sixth grade, and the St. Albans location taught toddlers through 12th grade. [4]

In October 2021, Chesterfield Day School and The Fulton School at St. Albans announced a merger on July 1, 2022. [5] [6] The schools combined as The Fulton School at the Chesterfield location. The campus at St. Albans is to be sold. [7]
