Welcome to Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy
CHCA is a private, nondenominational college preparatory school inspiring students in Pre-K–Grade 12. We’re rooted in Christ, created for more, and called to pursue excellence in all things.
Find Your Place
Students thrive when they feel valued and accepted. Our Upper School experience will give you the independence you crave in an environment that enhances your academic, social, and spiritual growth so you’re prepared for all that lies ahead.
These are the years when confidence takes root. In the Lower School, differentiated instruction will help you develop your God-given gifts while hands-on, project-based learning will build the foundation for continued academic and spiritual growth.
We believe that a child’s early learning experiences should be grounded in growth, faith, and play. Our Christian preschool program nurtures young minds and hearts within a faith-based environment, setting you up for a lifelong love of learning.
Known, loved, challenged—in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. At Armleder, you’ll become part of a creative community that uplifts, encourages, and inspires greatness through programs tailored to develop confident, compassionate leaders.
Pursue Your Gifts
From English to calculus, biology, history, Spanish, and more, our AP courses introduce college-level material within a Christian worldview.

Stories from CHCA
Griffin Class of 2026
“There are so many opportunities in sports here…The coaches care about you so much, and the teachers have your best interests at heart. The people around you surround themselves with God. That makes an impact.”
Manuela, Grade 12
“I have always played classical music, but here I’ve been part of chapel worship and learned how to play cello and drums. Being in an environment where everyone has a special gift means we get to enjoy their talent but also learn from them.”
