School Reviews
| 5 I have a few children at CHA (high school, middle school, elementary) and am glad to have made this investment for my children for so many reasons! Many schools say they're Christian, but a CHA education truly results in the spiritual formation of students because of the exceptional role model teachers, the welcoming and loving community where every child is known, a supportive environment among students and faculty, excellent Bible classes, chapel and mentor relationships/prayer that address the heart. Academic offerings are very good, with AP, honors & college dual credit courses, and the proof is in the test scores which are among the highest in the area. Students have many opportunities for service and leadership at all grades, including mission trips and the opportunity to start clubs. I've seen graduates go on to excellent universities, both secular and Christian, and go on to have meaningful careers and purposeful lives. Our family loves CHA! - Posted by Parent - Thankful for CHA |
| 5 We love Christian Heritage Academy! Our daughter has thrived at CHA for nine years. The teachers, admin and staff genuinely care about the students. They provide a warm and loving atmosphere for academic, spiritual, social and emotional growth. Academics are strong, as reflected in test scores, Upper School AP courses, and college dual credit programs. There are many opportunities for involvement in clubs, athletics, and fine arts. If you are looking for a top-notch Christian education, this is the school for you! - Posted by Parent - Janna H |
