- UPPER SCHOOL PARENT<br />

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on<br />

wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.<br />

- Isaiah 40:31


This is where learning<br />

comes to life for your child<br />

For our youngest learners, CHCA is more than your child’s school;<br />

it’s a vibrant and caring learning family where your child will be<br />

celebrated as a unique gift from God.


Employing an approach<br />

inspired by the<br />

Reggio-Emilia<br />

philosophy, children<br />

explore, discover,<br />

question, observe, and<br />

construct meaning<br />

through a hands-on,<br />

project-based curriculum.<br />

And by integrating<br />

scripture lessons with the<br />

wonder of exploring<br />

God’s world, we build a<br />

foundation for lifelong<br />

learning and faith.

OUR EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM<br />

STUDENT-TO-TEACHER<br />

RATIO IS 8:1 BECAUSE<br />

WE BELIEVE NURTURING<br />

ENVIRONMENTS YIELD<br />

BIG<br />

DISCOVERIES.


PLAY, LEARN<br />

AND GROW<br />

beyond the classroom walls.


It’s hard to contain children's natural energy and<br />

curiosity - so why try to contain it? That’s why we<br />

built an outdoor playscape for our youngest<br />

learners. We want to make it possible to play,<br />

learn, and grow beyond the classroom walls.<br />

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics,<br />

play inspires creativity and develops imagination,<br />

dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional<br />

strength. It’s important for healthy brain<br />

development, and it’s how little minds engage and<br />

interact with the world around them. Oh, and most<br />

important, it’s fun!<br />

Actually, ALL spaces and programming at CHCA<br />

are designed with one goal in mind, that each child<br />

will flourish.


PIAZZA [pyaht-tse]<br />

SOUNDS FANCY,<br />

DOESN'T IT?


A Piazza is known as an open square or public place in a city or<br />

town, CHCA's Piazza is just such a gathering place. In this large,<br />

vibrant, light-filled gathering space, you and your child will enjoy<br />

everything from trike rides down the indoor path to yoga, to<br />

chapel, parent coffees and more.

“The Atelier, or studio, is a very powerful space; where ideas<br />

are continually refined; and where children feel a sense of<br />

ownership and power that invigorates the lives of children<br />

and teachers.” – Loris Malaguzzi


Your<br />

school journey<br />

is just beginning,<br />

and your child is<br />

being fully-prepared<br />

for what lies<br />

ahead…


Engaging<br />

your child’s<br />

curiosity<br />

each step<br />

of the way<br />

Guided by caring Christian teachers, your Kindergarten student will build foundational<br />

skills in literacy, problem solving, creative expression, scientific exploration, and more,<br />

while discovering his or her God-given gifts. Our experiential learning approach celebrates<br />

and encourages questions, and gives your student the tools to seek the answers.<br />

As our youngest students strengthen both<br />

their minds & their faith, they are prepared<br />

intellectually, socially, and spiritually<br />

for the next step in their learning journey.


“It is better to<br />

know how to<br />

learn than<br />

to know.”<br />

– Dr. Seuss


Awesome spaces for you to<br />

learn and grow.<br />

Dedicated innovation labs and collaboration<br />

spaces foster creativity and provide areas<br />

where students and teachers can supplement<br />

lectures with hands-on dimensional learning<br />

(when you visit, ask about zSpace ).<br />

In these labs, you are free to experiment,<br />

manipulate, and take risks in your learning<br />

in ways that stimulate discussion and<br />

creative thinking.<br />

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for<br />

the LORD… - Colossians 3:23

At the end of a nature trail, in a<br />

shady clearing beside a creek, is<br />

CHCA’s outdoor classroom.<br />

When the weather’s right, students<br />

and teachers head to this place, sit<br />

on benches between two enormous<br />

sycamore trees, and learn - about<br />

science, God, history, whatever the<br />

topic of the day is - in a beautiful,<br />

peaceful place.


YOU + small class sizes =<br />

BIG DISCOVERIES


YOU'RE A<br />

UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL,<br />

NOT A NUMBER HERE.<br />

You will find that small classes provide the best<br />

environment for you to ask questions, get<br />

personal attention from teachers, and<br />

explore topics in depth.<br />

That’s why our Lower School and<br />

Upper School student-to-teacher<br />

ratio is 12:1 and our average class<br />

ranges from 16-18 students per class.


…a place where you<br />

belong


Let’s face it…growing up can be hard.<br />

At CHCA, we believe in doing life “together”.<br />

Teachers create an environment where students are<br />

challenged and supported. Mistakes and failures are just<br />

opportunities to learn and grow. Friends encourage and bring<br />

out the best in you. Even parents remark that being a part of<br />

the CHCA community is an unexpected bonus to enrolling.

Future<br />

Eagles,<br />

Just got home from my last Intersession trip with CHCA.<br />

Can’t believe this part of my life is ending as graduation is just<br />

a few months away. This year, I went to Greece and Italy with 50 of my<br />

classmates and a few teachers. Each place we visited was unique, providing<br />

bucket list items to check off daily:<br />

• experiencing places where Paul stood trial and declared the<br />

gospel in Corinth and Athens<br />

• visualizing the gladiators in the Coliseum and Julius Caesar<br />

at the Roman Forum<br />

• learning about the rich history of the Catholic Church at<br />

the Vatican while spending a few hours awestruck at<br />

St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel<br />

• exploring Florence, walking miles to see beautiful views,<br />

churches, and historic artwork like Michelangelo’s David<br />

• taking a gondola ride in Venice as the sun set over the<br />

canals of this unique city<br />

It’s fair to say that four years of Intersession have had a huge impact on my<br />

life. As a freshman, I experienced living with a rural Incan family in Peru. Then<br />

experiencing what it’s like to completely unplug from the world, as a<br />

sophomore, I “survived” a two-week survival trip on a remote island in Florida.<br />

Last year, I learned not only how to use power tools, but the importance of<br />

having a home when we built a house with Habitat for Humanity in Laredo,<br />

Texas. And now this year’s trip.<br />

I don’t view the world or myself in the same way after doing and seeing these<br />

things. My world has expanded from Cincinnati, Ohio to continents and people<br />

miles away. I have seen the remains of the Incan, Greek, and Roman Empires in a<br />

real way that goes beyond the classroom. I’ve learned that I can find God in the<br />

mountains of Peru, on a walk on the beach or in the splendor of the Vatican.<br />

I know college is going to be great, but every January, I’m going<br />

to wish I was back at CHCA doing something amazing with Intersession. You’re<br />

so lucky that you have four years of it<br />

ahead of you!<br />

There are three components of<br />

Spiritual Life at CHCA:<br />

HEAD, HEART, AND HANDS.<br />

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed<br />

by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and<br />

approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.<br />

- Romans 12:2


"Our teachers<br />

want to make sure<br />

that our faith is our own. They<br />

want us to know why we believe<br />

something - not just accept<br />

what others tell us."<br />

- Upper School Student<br />

At CHCA, learning and faith inspire and reinforce each other.<br />

You wll find CHCA's curriculum carefully integrates meaningful<br />

reflections upon Christian faith into every discipline, as our quest<br />

for God fuels intellectual curiosity and our academic pursuits teach<br />

us more about God's world. Students and teachers worship,<br />

contemplate, and celebrate alongside one another at weekly chapel<br />

services. We pray together - in class, in the hallway, on the playing<br />

field. And we live out our faith through service to others.


There are three components of<br />

Spiritual Life at CHCA:<br />

HEAD, HEART, AND HANDS.


Students meet Jesus and grow their faith in a<br />

variety of ways, and that’s why we offer as many<br />

avenues as possible for them to get to know God:<br />

Weekly chapels, service immersions, Christian<br />

Studies classes, student-led Bible studies, See You<br />

at the Pole, serving others, Theological Integration,<br />

weekly Bible memory verses, praying for each other<br />

I believe what truly sets our institution apart is<br />

our potential to create Christian leaders ready<br />

to go out and shine their light in the world. ”<br />

At CHCA, giving our time and energy to our<br />

community is more than a hobby or box to check<br />

off on a college application—it’s a way of life. Our<br />

seniors earn an average of 230 service hours and the<br />

list of organizations students work with is<br />

extensive, but here are a few:<br />

Ronald McDonald House<br />

WHAT<br />

TIME IS<br />

IT?


WHAT TIME IS IT?<br />

A. In London, it’s 7:55 p.m.<br />

B. In Tokyo, it’s 3:55 a.m.<br />

C. At CHCA, it’s 2:55 p.m. and our doors are<br />

open to students from around the world.<br />

D. All of the above.<br />

It’s a big world out there, but with the city’s largest high<br />

school International Student Program, CHCA makes it<br />

feel a little closer to home. We welcome nearly 40<br />

students from around the world to learn and live<br />

alongside our students.<br />

ANSWER - D


120, 233, 70, 31, 25,000…<br />

At CHCA, numbers tell a story.<br />

LOTS OF STORIES ACTUALLY.


Take for example, Leon. Leon is one of the 70 leaders of 31 Student Organized Service (SOS) groups who pursue<br />

needs they’re passionate about—tutoring underserved children, providing clean water to schools in a third world<br />

country, supporting women in Kenya, or addressing homelessness in our city, to name a few. Students meet these<br />

needs by educating their peers, finding creative ways to fundraise, giving their time, and building relationships.<br />

In fact, each CHCA student is required to complete 120 service hours for graduation, but most do more—one<br />

recent class racked up over 25,000 hours, which averaged 233 per graduate.<br />

These students have<br />

shown that you can<br />

make a difference<br />

at any age.<br />

It starts with SOS Juniors in the Lower School who are discovering needs in the community and what it means to<br />

serve others. They are paired with Upper School SOS leaders as they learn about the world through the eyes of<br />

Christ, develop relationships, and further the Kingdom of God. Upper School students also have a wide range of<br />

service immersion options, which challenge students to get out of their comfort zones and engage in service and<br />

other cultures. Numbers like 31 and 25,000 are a simple representation of the soul that runs through CHCA, but<br />

behind each number are hundreds of hearts eager to change the world.<br />

Where will your heart take you?

and smoothies to making a killer latte, students get<br />

a chance to operate, market, and grow businesses.

CHCA'S SPORTS PERFORMANCE PROGRAM<br />

EAGLES IN TRAINING<br />

It’s easy to get caught up in the moment of game<br />

day, and to forget all of the work that occurs<br />

behind the scenes. But any successful athlete or<br />

coach will tell you that the work put in on an early<br />

weekday morning, or in the extra hours after<br />

practice, makes all the difference in the outcome<br />

of a season. A major part of how well an athlete<br />

will perform, is how they train and take care of<br />

themselves – their bodies, minds, and spirits.<br />

The parallels among academics, service, fine arts,<br />

and athletics take many different forms from<br />

school to school, but at CHCA, you will find<br />

excellence throughout. The difference with<br />

CHCA student-athletes: they are being<br />

challenged to think critically during an AP<br />

Chemistry block bell the same way they do at their<br />

6:00 a.m. performance workouts. When you talk<br />

about committing to a culture of champions, look<br />

no further. CHCA student-athletes stay on top<br />

with high academic rigor, continual service, and<br />

championship caliber seasons.

Leaders<br />

wanted.


"Our changing world needs leaders. It needs<br />

people who are passionate critical thinkers,<br />

problem solvers, and innovators. It needs<br />

people who can communicate well, whether<br />

by written or spoken word. It needs people who<br />

are motivated self-starters with entrepreneurial<br />

drive. It needs people who can manage<br />

themselves and others. It needs people who<br />

can face adversity and not be shaken. It needs<br />

people willing to serve those around them,<br />

putting the needs of others before themselves.<br />

Our world needs people who understand that<br />

all the world is God's and that He is restoring<br />

all things, making all things new through<br />

Christ. Our Upper School is creating an<br />

environment to raise up young women and<br />

men who will engage the world and shape the<br />

future. We're excited for what the future holds.<br />

We're excited for what our students will do.”<br />

True or False:<br />

Students can't be trusted<br />

with free time during<br />

the school day.


Answer: False<br />

At CHCA's Upper School, students in grades<br />

9-12 get "Personal Responsibility Time," 48<br />

minutes each day to spend doing whatever<br />

they want—working on group projects in a huddle<br />

room, sketching, working out with the Sports<br />

Performance coach, catching up on homework,<br />

studying in front of the fireplace in the<br />

Collaboration Space, or grabbing a bite to eat<br />

at The Blend Smoothie Bar. In an overscheduled<br />

world, we believe it's important to allow a little<br />

unstructured time and to treat you like the adult<br />

you'll soon be.<br />

P.S. Students in Grades 7-8 get "Student Directed Learning", a free bell at the<br />

end of the day that's designed to give them time to meet with teachers, catch<br />

up on homework, or collaborate with classmates.


Face paint<br />

optional!


From Homecoming to spirit days to road trips to away games,<br />

we’re all about school spirit at CHCA. Something about this<br />

place just makes us want to wear purple, put things in our hair,<br />

write things in all caps on our car windows, and shout as loud<br />

as we can. Painting your face is optional, but don’t be<br />

surprised if you get caught up in the excitement.<br />

FULLY<br />

PREPARED<br />

FOR<br />

WHAT’S<br />

NEXT (and the next thing after that)


FULLY<br />

PREPARED<br />

means something different<br />

here - it’s not just about<br />

doing your best academically<br />

(although that’s important), it<br />

means stretching yourself<br />

socially; cultivating and<br />

learning to defend your faith;<br />

and learning who God<br />

designed you to be instead of<br />

letting the world tell you who<br />

you are.<br />

When you thrive at CHCA, you’re<br />

prepared to thrive not only in<br />

college, but in life.

Letter to my<br />

future self


Dear Claire,<br />

You did it! After years of academic challenges, late<br />

nights, and close friendships, you graduated from CHCA.<br />

This place has done more than simply prepare you for your<br />

future with the necessary tools to succeed academically,<br />

you have been empowered to grow as a leader. Your teachers<br />

encouraged you to pursue your passions, challenged you to<br />

learn beyond the classroom, and inspired you to use<br />

your God-given talents to your fullest potential. You have<br />

been taught the importance of strong values like integrity,<br />

service, and leadership. Your time here has helped you to<br />

question, challenge, and grow stronger in your faith, and I<br />

know that you are prepared for your journey ahead.<br />

I can’t wait to see how the future unfolds,<br />

but you will always be an Eagle at heart.<br />

Love,<br />

Claire


Let’s talk about affording<br />

a CHCA education…


Choosing to invest in a CHCA education is truly an<br />

investment in your child, and we want to help make it a<br />

reality for your family. “How?” you ask.<br />

We’re happy to answer…<br />

Need-based tuition assistance bridges the gap. Using an<br />

outside agency to determine a family’s demonstrated<br />

financial need, tuition assistance awards supplement what<br />

your family can afford to pay, making CHCA affordable for<br />

families across a range of incomes.<br />

Merit-based scholarships reward student achievement.<br />

Upper School students with extraordinary academic<br />

achievement or potential to make a positive impact are<br />

automatically considered for renewable merit scholarships.<br />

Flexible payment options help fit tuition into your monthly<br />

budget. We offer monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and<br />

annual payment plans.
