Our school embraces what is beautiful and unique about each of my kids, while also challenging them intellectually. Each day they have the opportunity to learn through principles and practices that are founded on the word of God.

What I like most about CHCS: Our kids are pursued, seen and known. The school fosters an environment that helps develop Christ-like qualities in our children.
