The secret to our success can be summarized in two words: balance and distinction. Balanced students are given a balanced education which places an emphasis on academic excellence while broadening the development of our student body through a school wide program involving competitive athletics and fine arts. In addition, our students' character and spiritual growth is actively promoted through Bib
le classes, chapel programs, character training, and community service projects. CHCS offers a comprehensive program that addresses the educational needs of the whole child.
