HistoryChristian Heritage Academy was founded in 1986 by a group of committed Christian parents from seven area churches. They desired a school that offered a well-rounded educational program of academic excellence integrated with quality Bible training and Christian influence that would help build Christ-like character in its students. Today CHA continues to be an inter-denominational, independent, non profit school that integrates faith and learning with service and responsibility.SpecialtiesIt is the vision of Christian Heritage Academy that our students will have a firm faith and personal identity in Jesus Christ as the foundation of all knowledge, wisdom, and goodness. Life as a student will also be characterized by thoughtful inquiry guided by Biblical principles, and will exhibit Christ-like integrity, respectful relationships, and joyful service. The mission for our school is clear and resolute: Christian Heritage Academy exists to educate children with excellent academics that place Christ at the beginning and end of all knowledge and to lead children into lives guided by Christ-centered values and respectful relationships. Working together with families, we support and nurture each child to become a responsive disciple of Jesus Christ in order to be His salt and light in the world.
