School Notes:
  • Each student has an advisor with whom he or she meets two times a week. Strengths, such as a gift for math, or areas that need more attention, such as organization, are identified early.
  • The student to teacher ratio is low approximately 5:1. Class sizes range from 8 to 14 students. Every student participates in the learning process so no student can get lost in the back row.
  • There is a unique CH-CH Learning Center, which is an organized, professionally administered program that replaces unstructured, informal tutoring as an educational supplement.
  • Teachers write weekly reports on students to keep parents and students involved in the educational process. Parents can access these reports online.
  • LD types supported: Yes
  • School accreditations: NAIS
