About Chapel Hill Christian School
"Celebrating Over 40 Years of Academic Excellence"
Chapel Hill Christian School, a private Christian elementary school of over 500 students, offers a rock-solid foundation in the life of each child. Since its founding in 1966, CHCS has understood the relationship of a nurturing environment, traditional values, a quality academic program, and cultivation of Christ-like character.
Along with the family and local church, the elementary school has the greatest influence in the life of a child. Thus, CHCS purposes to lead children to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, and mind.
CHCS distinguishes itself from other Pre-K through 6th grade academic institutions by its rigorous and well-rounded curriculum, high academic standards, and integration of Biblical values in all of its programs. Students at CHCS typically score at least two years above the national average on the Stanford Achievement Test.
In addition to a strong core curriculum, our technology, fine arts, physical education, foreign language, sports, and missions programs provide for the complete education of each child. Our Bible curriculum is complemented by weekly chapel services. Prayer is an integral part of the daily classroom routine.
Life-long friendships, caring teachers, and a disciplined learning environment are keys to the success of CHCS. Many alumni now serve in full-time ministry.
We invite you to be a part of the CHCS family!

What We Believe
We believe that teaching academics is only a small part of the child’s total education. Spiritual and moral values, proper attitudes, respect for authority, the rights and feelings of others are considered of major importance in training children to become mature Christian leaders.
Our source of authority is the inspired word of God as presented in the Old and New Testaments. All teaching must be evaluated in light of that written word.
We believe that parents are the stewards of the children God has given them. The Bible clearly states that it is the parents’ responsibility to "train a child in the way he should go." (Proverbs 19:6) We are careful that the school never usurps this responsibility. We make every effort to partner with our parents in their parenting role.
