Academic Excellence. Spiritual Formation. Lasting Growth.
Middle School is a pivotal season in a student’s development. As young adolescents grow academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually, they begin asking deeper questions about themselves, the world around them, and God’s purpose for their lives.
At Cherry Hills Christian School, we intentionally guide students through this important transition by combining academic rigor, authentic discipleship, and meaningful relationships. Building on the foundation established in Lower School, students move beyond simply learning facts to exploring how biblical truth shapes the way they think, live, and lead. As a private Christian middle school serving Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Littleton, Lone Tree, Parker, and the greater South Metro Denver area, CHC partners with families to prepare students to Think Biblically, Live Faithfully, and Lead Courageously to impact the world for Jesus Christ.
We’re sure your family has questions, and we would love the chance to answer those and get to know you better.
Our Admissions team is ready to help answer your questions.
Challenged Academically. Grounded Spiritually.
Our Middle School teachers are passionate educators who love Jesus and are experts in their fields. Through engaging instruction and high academic expectations, students learn to think critically, communicate effectively, solve problems creatively, and view every subject through the lens of Scripture.
Biblical integration extends beyond Bible class and chapel. Whether students are exploring literature, science, history, mathematics, or the arts, they are challenged to understand God’s truth and develop a Christ-centered worldview that prepares them for high school and beyond.
“Two of our children have been at Cherry Hills since they were in preschool and kindergarten! Each year has come with its own list of blessings and amazing support and guidance from their teachers. They have been challenged in both academics and spiritual growth by their peers and teachers. It has been a blessing to see them make friends that encourage and support them in their areas of interest. As parents, we know that Cherry Hills Christian School is a safe place for our boys to make mistakes, grow, be leaders, and be loved. We would not want them anywhere else.”
– Roger and Sheá Goodwin, CHC parents

Chapel & Community Groups
One of the defining features of CHC Middle School is our commitment to intentional spiritual formation.
Each Wednesday, our community gathers for Chapel—a dedicated time of worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. Chapel serves as a weekly opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and parents to unite around God’s Word and grow together in faith.
Following Chapel, students meet in small, single-gender Community Groups led by trusted faculty and staff mentors. These groups create space for meaningful conversations, prayer, encouragement, and reflection on the chapel message.
Community Groups help students:
Through Chapel and Community Groups, students experience discipleship in a personal and practical way.
Designed for Growth
Our rotating class schedule is intentionally designed to prepare students for the academic demands of high school while promoting balance throughout the school day.
Students attend classes at different times throughout the week, helping minimize missed instruction due to extracurricular activities and creating greater variety in their daily routines. Class periods are structured to develop the academic stamina, organization, and responsibility students need for future success.
Beyond core academics, students can personalize their experience through a variety of elective offerings, including:
Many students choose Study Hall as an elective, allowing them to complete assignments during the school day and enjoy more family time in the evenings.
Preparing Students to Lead
Middle School is more than preparation for high school—it’s preparation for life.
Through leadership opportunities, service projects, spiritual formation, and challenging academics, students are encouraged to discover their gifts, develop confidence, and understand how God can use them to make a difference in the world.
By graduation, students are equipped not only with strong academic skills, but also with the character, faith, and conviction to navigate the challenges ahead.
