Since 1985, Cherry Hills Christian School has partnered with families to provide a Christ-centered education that develops students academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. As a leading private Christian school serving Highlands Ranch and South Metro Denver, CHC is committed to helping students discover who God created them to be and preparing them to influence the world for Jesus Christ. Through academic excellence, spiritual formation, and a caring community, students are equipped with the wisdom, character, and confidence to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Our Mission
Our mission is to prepare students to Think Biblically, Live Faithfully, and Lead Courageously to impact the world for Jesus Christ. This mission serves as the foundation for every classroom experience, athletic competition, artistic performance, service opportunity, and relationship across our campus.
Our Guiding Values
Christ-Centered
Christ is not something we weave into what we do—He is the foundation of everything we do. We seek to cultivate a school culture where faith and learning are integrated, and every student is encouraged to grow in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Caring Community
We grow together in faith, love, and partnership, cultivating a mission-aligned community of belonging, support, and shared purpose. Students flourish when they are encouraged, challenged, and cared for by teachers, peers, and families who share a common commitment to Christ.
Pursuit of Excellence
We pursue excellence in academics, arts, athletics, character, and service, striving to reflect God’s best in everything we do and encouraging students to use their gifts to glorify Him.
Leadership
Meet Dr. Don Davis
Dr. Don Davis assumed the role of Head of School on June 1, 2025, bringing more than two decades of educational leadership experience and a respected reputation within Christian education.
Throughout his career, Dr. Davis has served in a variety of leadership roles, including athletic director, assistant head of school, and head of school. His commitment to Christ-centered education, academic excellence, and student formation has earned him the trust of families and educational leaders alike.
Under Dr. Davis’s leadership, Cherry Hills Christian School is building upon its strong legacy while advancing a clear vision for the future—one that equips students to think biblically, live faithfully, and lead courageously in an ever-changing world.
Academic excellence is a hallmark of the CHC experience. Our highly qualified faculty challenge students to think critically, communicate effectively, solve problems creatively, and pursue learning with curiosity and purpose.
Faith and learning are intentionally integrated throughout every subject area, helping students develop discernment and a deep understanding of how God’s truth applies to all aspects of life.
Through rigorous academics, technology, fine arts, athletics, leadership opportunities, and service experiences, students are prepared for success in high school and beyond.
Why Preschool – Grade 8 Matters
The Preschool through Middle School years are among the most formative in a child’s life. During this season, students are developing their foundational beliefs, character, identity, and habits that will shape their future.
At Cherry Hills Christian School, we intentionally partner with families during these critical years to nurture faith, encourage academic growth, and develop strong character. Our Preschool–Grade 8 model allows us to guide students through each stage of development within a consistent Christ-centered environment that fosters both belonging and growth.
Our Legacy
40 Years of Faith, Excellence, and Community
For more than four decades, Cherry Hills Christian School has faithfully served families throughout Highlands Ranch and the greater Denver area.
Founded in 1985 as a ministry of Cherry Hills Community Church, CHC was established to partner with families in providing a Christ-centered education grounded in biblical truth and academic excellence. What began as an extension of the church’s commitment to discipling the next generation has grown into a thriving Preschool–Grade 8 school community where students are challenged to grow academically, spiritually, and personally.
Today, our partnership with Cherry Hills Community Church remains a vital part of who we are.
Together, We Shape a Generation
We believe children flourish when Home. Church. School. Community. work together with shared purpose. When these influences are united by God’s truth, students develop a faith that lasts, a character that reflects Christ, and the courage to lead with conviction.
