Welcome to Our School

The Goddard School of Chantilly (East Gate) is more than a warm and nurturing place. It's a safe space where your child will discover their extraordinary.

We opened in 2011, committed to creating the kind of fun, enriching learning environment that we wanted for our own three children. We have two nationally recognized accreditations, demonstrating our continued commitment to excellence. We offer full-time, part-time, and after-school programs. Our accredited Private Kindergarten program is enrolling now for Fall 2023! We welcome new families all year round! Please call to schedule a tour and visit us just off Route 50 at Tall Cedars Parkway.

Meet Brad & Risa

Owner
Mr. Brad and Ms. Risa are the proud owners of both Goddard Schools in Chantilly; Chantilly (Westfields) opened in 2003, and Chantilly (East Gate) opened at the end of 2011. Risa has a Master's Degree in Elementary Education and serves as the Senior Education Director for the schools. Risa was previously a 4th and 5th grade teacher, so she knows well that an exceptional school depends on exceptional teachers. Risa oversees the hiring of every teacher we invite to join The Goddard School, and, as Senior Education Director, she makes sure that the environment we provide is caring, fun, safe, and educational. Brad is the business manager of both schools. Brad was trained as a lawyer, and he brings ten years of experience in the banking industry to the business side of running the school.
