Summary: As noted in our curriculum guide, "Every day we strive to inspire our students to discover their talents and to leverage these talents to learn new skills and content. In many ways our classrooms have become more like laboratories than lecture halls, places where students engage actively in the process of discovery as they produce works of literature, science, and art. Along with our approach to teaching and learning, we believe that the curriculum we offer at CH-CH has the potential to transform our students as thinkers and learners. In keeping with our appreciation of diversity, our curriculum is remarkably rich for a small college preparatory school. At the beginning levels, we introduce students to foundational skills and content across the disciplines so that they will emerge prepared not only to succeed but also to delight in the electives they choose as juniors and seniors."
