Chapel Hill's Upper School:
Developing a Biblical Worldview and
Equipping Leaders for Life
At Chapel Hill Christian Academy, we’re raising up the next generation of doctors, teachers, missionaries, pastors, business owners, and community leaders—young men and women who will go out and impact the world for Christ.
We believe the middle and high school years should be enriching, purposeful, and filled with opportunity. Since opening in 2020 with Pre-K through 5th grade, CHCA has continued to grow each year alongside our oldest students. Our dream is to see them graduate as the Class of 2028—the first to complete the full journey from Chapel Hill’s founding years to graduation.
Our calling is to equip these students both academically and spiritually, preparing them to stand firm in their faith, think critically, and serve compassionately in their homes, communities, and beyond.
Middle & High School Classes
These charts showcase CHCA’s academic framework for grades 6–11, blending rigorous academics with spiritual formation.
Our curriculum is designed with purpose and progression—each year building on the next to help students grow in knowledge, character, and leadership.
-
Middle School (6th–8th) emphasizes Biblical worldview, foundational skills, and exploration through projects like AgXplore and Career Explorations.
-
High School (9th–11th) offers deeper discipleship, advanced core classes, and preparation for college and career through courses like Bible Doctrines, Chemistry, and U.S. History & Geography.
With an average class size of 15 students, teachers are able to minister to the whole student—enriching them spiritually, intellectually, and socially, and helping each one discover their God-given identity and purpose.
A Christ-Centered, College-Ready Education
The Upper School curriculum includes a well-balanced range of academic subjects—Bible, English, Math, Science, and History—taught through a Biblical worldview. Students are encouraged to think deeply, communicate clearly, and see every discipline as a reflection of God’s truth and creativity.
From World History to Biblical Worldview, and from Physical Science to Algebra II, our courses are designed to challenge and inspire. Alongside strong academics, students also develop practical skills through public speaking, debate, agriscience, and service projects.
Rooted in Truth, Ready to Lead
Every Chapel Hill student is being prepared to make an impact—whether in college, career, ministry, or missions. Our desire is to see graduates who are grounded in Scripture, confident in their calling, and equipped to lead with wisdom and grace.
At Chapel Hill, education is discipleship—training minds, transforming hearts, and shaping lives for eternity.
Portrait of a Graduate
Parents and teachers describe our Chapel Hill Graduates.
"A CHCA Graduate is a capable, well rounded student- one who is confident, models initiative/motivation, sound judgment, and a heart to serve Jesus."
"A CHCA Graduate takes pride in their Christian education and feel passionate about telling others where they received their high school education." #golions
"A CHCA Graduate knows Jesus in a personal way. Their relationships
demonstrate that they belong to Him through the way they talk, walk and present themselves before others."
"A CHCA Graduate has confidence & humility – the ability to speak up for themselves and advocate for others when needed but also the wisdom and humility to consider other’s point of view and understand that learning is a life-long endeavor and listening is oftentimes much more important than speaking."
"A CHCA Graduate is resilient to bounce back after setbacks or challenging situations. He or She knows the Lord and His endless love for them. They are able to persevere in the face of obstacles academically and personally."
"A CHCA Graduate will have grown and accepted a biblical worldview to navigate the challenges the world will present to them. Our graduates will have developed the study habits and knowledge required to enter their college or career of choice."
Shared Vision... at Home and at School.
"My hope for a Chapel Hill graduate would be that they enter into what can be a blurry world, with clear vision as to how to defend and share their faith, confidently pursue God’s plan for their lives, and simply make this world a better place to live in. I pray that they feel the desire to be strong leaders, loving family members, proud believers, and individuals who impact their communities in positive ways. "
