Student Supports: Meeting Every Child Where They Are
One of the greatest strengths of private Christian education is the ability to truly know each student—and to support them as a whole person. At Chapel Hill Christian Academy, we believe every child is uniquely created by God with individual strengths, needs, and potential.
Our commitment to nurturing each student’s growth extends beyond academics. With dedicated teachers, specialists, and a caring Student Support Team, we are able to provide personalized attention and targeted support that reflect both excellence and grace.
A Comprehensive Approach to Student Success
CHCA’s Upper and Lower School campuses are supported by a Student Support Coordinator and a highly skilled Student Support Team who work collaboratively to identify, evaluate, and meet the instructional needs of both students and teachers.
This team includes general support staff, intervention and enrichment teachers, and specialists in literacy, math, and behavior—all united in their mission to help every child flourish. Support is offered through:
-
Classroom integration and co-teaching
-
Small-group instruction
-
One-on-one academic or behavioral support
-
At-home resources for continued growth
By combining academic expertise with a Christ-centered approach, we ensure students receive not only the help they need—but also the encouragement, love, and prayer that fuel confidence and success.
Intentional Identification & Support
As part of our admissions process, every student participates in a developmental and academic screener to help identify individual strengths and areas for growth. This information—combined with teacher insights and parent input—helps our team tailor support plans for each child.
Whether a student needs intervention, enrichment, or additional behavioral supports, CHCA’s goal is to meet those needs with compassion, professionalism, and faith-filled intentionality.
Why It Matters
At Chapel Hill, we see student support as an extension of our mission—to help every child grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man (Luke 2:52). Meeting students where they are allows us to unlock their God-given potential, foster a love for learning, and create a culture where all students feel valued, capable, and deeply known.
Because every child matters—and every child can thrive.
"Our students are unique image-bearers of Christ."
As we embark on another school year together, I am thrilled to serve as the Student Support Coordinator at Chapel Hill! Our students are unique image-bearers of Christ, and my hope is that all the students of CHCA feel welcomed, known, cared for, and supported within our school walls. I look forward to working with the students, families, and teachers to provide the necessary resources and support to address academic, social, and emotional needs. The mission of Chapel Hill Christian Academy is to partner with families in the teaching of their children by providing an education that is distinctively Christian, academically excellent, Biblically saturated, and service and mission oriented.
This mission resonates deeply with me, and I look forward to upholding and advancing these values in my role. As an educator, I love that we are preparing our future graduates to go out into the workforce as leaders and ambassadors for Christ. As a parent of a Chapel Hill student, I find great comfort in knowing that not only is my child receiving a strong academic foundation, but they are also learning how to love and serve others throughout the community. I feel blessed to be a part of such an amazing school family, and I look forward to a year filled with growth, learning, praise, and fun!
