Church Hill Academy (CHA) is the East End’s own fully-accredited, private, Christian high school. CHA is part of Church Hill Activities and Tutoring (CHAT), a nonprofit organization that serves youth through education, vocational training, after-school enrichment activities, and community partnerships.

We seek to empower students to become leaders and culture-makers. Our school’s mission statement: Church Hill Academy equips high school students to achieve academic success, develop character, and serve their community.
