Chase Collegiate was founded in 1865 as the Collegiate Institute for Young Ladies, which later changed its name to St. Margaret`s School for Girls. The McTernan School for Boys was founded in 1912. In 1972, these two distinguished institutions merged, becoming St. Margaret`s-McTernan, a non-religious, coeducational day school with a shared tradition of nurturing academic achievement and personal growth.
In 2005, St. Margaret`s-McTernan changed its name to Chase Collegiate School. The new name honors the Chase family, which helped to found both St. Margaret`s and McTernan, and preserves the original name by which the school was known.
