What Chesterbrook Academy does

Chesterbrook Academy is a multi-state network of private schools operating 63+ campuses across eight U.S. states (Florida, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia), serving children from six weeks old through 8th grade. The company runs an age-segmented product portfolio — Infant, Toddler, Beginners (2-3 years), Intermediates (3-4 years), Pre-K, Elementary (K-5), and Middle School (6-8) — plus before/after-school care, summer camp, and specialty classes in Spanish, Music, Art, Physical Education, and Technology. Educational content is standardized across campuses via a proprietary curriculum called "Links to Learning," developed and maintained by the Education Department of parent company Spring Education Group. The curriculum is built around seven integrated developmental components: Language and Literacy, Mathematical Thinking, Social-Emotional Learning, Wellness, Creative Expression, Scientific Exploration, and Citizens of the World.

The core technology stack consists of the Links to Learning curriculum framework and the "Links 2 Home" family communication app, which delivers daily photos, activity-to-skill connections, meal and nap updates, and two-way messaging between teachers and families. Family engagement is further supported by monthly folders, three annual family conferences and reports, and a parent-facing content blog covering developmental milestones and educational topics.

Chesterbrook Academy is a wholly-owned brand within Spring Education Group, a private-school network majority-owned by Hong Kong-based Primavera Holdings Limited. The company generates revenue primarily through recurring private tuition paid by families, with an additional B2B2C distribution channel via employer partnership programs offering up to 10% tuition discounts across 70+ corporate partners and 130+ schools in 18 states. Customer acquisition relies on location-based website search, school visits, employer referrals, organic social media (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook), and content marketing. Tuition is not publicly disclosed and varies by location and program; the company has served over 100,000 students since its founding in 1985.
