Student Life

At CHCA, student life is rich with connection, purpose, and growth. Through friendships, leadership, service, and spiritual development, students become who
God created them to be.

Our school culture encourages kindness, inclusivity, and genuine connection across grades and divisions. From the first day of school to graduation, students build meaningful relationships that shape their experience and last a lifetime.

“This school is my family. I wouldn't think of any other place to be.”

Clubs & Organizations

CHCA offers more than 50 student-led clubs, after-school programs, and leadership opportunities. Students can join groups like the Beak Squad, MathCounts, musical ensembles, student government, and more—or start something new. Extended day programming also provides enrichment and care beyond school hours.

Spiritual Life

Spiritual life at CHCA is authentic, active, and student-driven. Chapel services, small groups, and Intersession service trips help students grow in faith and character. From age 3 through Grade 12, students are invited into meaningful opportunities to live out their faith.

Weekly Chapel

Every student attends chapel, creating space to worship, reflect, and grow in community. In Upper School, students help plan and lead these gatherings, developing as spiritual leaders.

Opportunities to serve during Intersession–a two-week, out-of-class learning program–provide immersive, hands-on learning. Students also complete at least 120 service hours before graduation, and many go far beyond.
