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.
