The foundation matters
At CHA, a Christian education is not about sheltering kids from the world or simply getting them to say the right things. Rather, we believe that it’s about growing roots deep enough for our students to bear fruit in the world both during their time here and after they graduate – in their homes, in their communities, and in their future vocations.
A vibrant Christian school is a wonderful place to grow these roots, whether in academics, in athletics, in community, in the arts, or through service. I must be honest: our faculty are incredible, and my three kids, who each attend CHA, have been deeply blessed by them. CHA has been in the business of equipping and inspiring kids to be lifetime followers of Jesus since 1984, and my prayer is that you will join us in this endeavor.
I invite you to watch the video for a personal invitation.

Head-of-School Blog
CHA has a beautiful, unique culture that is defined by who we are as a school family and the mission to which God has called us. As Head of School I have the privilege of trying to articulate that through the written word. So grab a cup of coffee, find a good chair, and read for yourself what CHA is all about.

Meet our Community
CHA is neither a denominational school nor a neighborhood school. We represent over 170 congregations and over 40 communities from Chicago to southern Wisconsin to Barrington. We are united in our Statement of Faith though we come from a variety of backgrounds. As such, CHA uniquely brings Chicagoland's diverse body of Christ together in transformational ways.
Why CHA?
Please continue to explore our website, but remember this site is just scratching the surface. If you want your kids to grow deep roots in Christ through their education, reach out to our Admissions Office, schedule a tour, or connect with a current family today! We have many people who would love to answer your questions and share why they chose and committed to Christian Heritage Academy in their own words, and we pray that one day your "why" will be added to this eternal heritage!
We love the intimacy of the school, where teachers and students outside of our students’ grades know their names and high five them in the halls. They are known and loved!
Laura M., CHA Parent
The CHA experience has led me to making many new friends, being a more kind and loving person, and most importantly a stronger believer of Christ.
Betty T., CHA Student
God’s work is so apparent at CHA! None of us have perfect children, yet through the partnership with CHA aiming for the same goal of guiding our children to walk in God’s way, amazing transformation happened – time and again!!!
Ching-Tung W., Alumni Parent
I have clarity on the fact that God intentionally placed me here at CHA. I have grown academically and in my passion for athletics, but I have exponentially grown in my faith. I came to understand the Lord more in these last three years than I have in my entire life.
