An education at Christian Heritage Academy is about growing roots that run deep. At CHA, a Christian education is not about sheltering kids from the world or simply getting them to say the right things. Rather, we believe that it’s about growing roots deep enough for our students to bear fruit in the world both during their time here and after they graduate – in their homes, in their communities, and in their future vocations.
The foundation matters
A vibrant Christian school is a wonderful place to grow these roots, whether in academics, in athletics, in community, in the arts, or through service. I must be honest: our faculty are incredible, and my three kids, who each attend CHA, have been deeply blessed by them. CHA has been in the business of equipping and inspiring kids to be lifetime followers of Jesus since 1984, and my prayer is that you will join us in this endeavor. I invite you to watch the video for a personal invitation.

Head-of-School Blog
CHA has a beautiful, unique culture that is defined by who we are as a school family and the mission to which God has called us. As Head of School I have the privilege of trying to articulate that through the written word. So grab a cup of coffee, find a good chair, and read for yourself what CHA is all about.
