Another school year has come to an end, and our hearts are so full.

This year was filled with growth, laughter, challenges overcome, friendships deepened, and countless moments of grace. It has been such a gift to watch our students learn, grow, and flourish - not only academically, but in wisdom, character, and faith.

To our families, thank you for entrusting us with your children and for walking alongside us throughout the year. Your partnership is what makes Charis such a special place.

As summer begins, we pray your days are filled with rest, joy, adventure, and sweet moments together. May this season bring renewal and memories your families will cherish for years to come!

Have a wonderful summer break, CCA community. Thank you for being part of this beautiful school family - we already can’t wait to welcome you back in the fall. 🌿

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Annual Fundraiser Carnival at Goodly Farm! 🎡🎪

Seeing so many families come together to enjoy the games, activities, food, and beautiful setting made the day incredibly special. Because of your generosity and support, we raised nearly $9,000 for our school - funds that will directly benefit our students and programs.

A huge thank you to the many volunteers who helped make the event possible through setup, cleanup, organizing activities, serving food, running games, coordinating the silent auction, welcoming guests, and so much more. Events like this are only possible because of such a strong and supportive community.

We also loved seeing our student volunteers jump in to help throughout the day - and earn plenty of House points along the way! 👏

Thank you again to every family who attended, volunteered, donated, and celebrated with us. It was a joyful day filled with laughter, fun, and wonderful memories, and we are so grateful for this amazing community!

Charis Spring Family Carnival + Silent Auction ✨🎡

Charis families, mark your calendars! Join us Saturday, May 16 from 3–6 PM at Goodly Farm for one of our favorite events of the year.

It’s going to be a fun-filled afternoon with games, great food, raffles, a silent auction, and lots of time to connect as a community. Bring your friends, grandparents, neighbors - everyone’s welcome! 💛

Our silent auction will open a few days early, so you can start bidding before the event. From date nights and trips to birthday parties and class projects, there’s something for everyone. Plus, don’t miss the raffle (hello, Yoto player + Beats headphones 👀).

This event isn’t just fun—it helps support and grow the mission of Charis, and we’re so grateful for this community.

We’ve officially entered the last month of school - the days feel lighter, the sunshine lingers longer, and summer is just around the corner ☀

But before we get there, there’s still so much good to soak in. The laughter in the halls, the friendships that have grown, and all the little everyday moments that make this end-of-school rhythm so special.

At Charis Classical Academy, we’re leaning into the final stretch with joy, gratitude, and a reminder to slow down and enjoy it all 🌿

The senior thesis presentation is the crowning achievement of a classical Christian education. After years of studying the Great Books, sharpening logic, and practicing eloquence, our seniors write and defend a thesis on a topic they deeply care about.

It’s a powerful display of wisdom, courage, and fortitude. We are incredibly proud of our seniors for how they presented and defended the capstone of their high school journey. 🎓📖

Our 4th graders had a blast on their invertebrate scavenger hunt last week! 🐞🕷️🔍

At Charis Classical Academy, nature study is a cherished part of our grammar school rhythm - something our students (and teachers!) look forward to each week. Equipped with their nature journals, they carefully sketch, label, and record their discoveries, learning to slow down and truly see the world around them.

Our study of nature cultivates wonder, attentiveness, and a deeper understanding of the world around us. What a perfect foundation for lifelong learning!

There’s a growing conversation around reducing screens in classrooms and returning to more traditional methods of learning.

At Charis Classical Academy, we’ve long valued a classroom shaped by thoughtful instruction and are dedicated to fostering an environment of meaningful engagement.

Our goal isn’t just academic success, but to nurture a lasting love (and joy!) of learning. 🌿
