1. General Information

Established in 1994, Christian Heritage School of Longview (CHS) is an inter-denominational, independent day school for students in grades Kindergarten through Twelve. CHS presently holds accreditation by the National Association of Private Schools (NAPS) and is seeking accreditation through the Association of Classical & Christian Schools (ACCS). The mission of Christian Heritage School is to work together with the home to provide excellence in classical Christ-centered education in order to develop within each student the ability to reason biblically while encouraging a desire to savor God and to serve both God and man.

Christian Heritage School is a classical Christ-centered school.  Classical Christ-centered education at its core is the effective integration of faith and learning.  Broadly speaking, classical Christ-centered education is “…the cultivation of wisdom and virtue by nourishing the soul on Truth, goodness, and beauty so that the student in Christ is better able to know, glorify, and enjoy God.”

The classical Christ-centered curriculum finds its bedrock in the treatment of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom in the Scriptures.  Divided into three components of learning (grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric), the classical Christ-centered curriculum best complements the three stages of cognitive development (poll-parrot, pert, and poetic).  By incorporating grammar (the fundamental data that one can know about subjects, or knowledge), dialectic (a logical ordering and structure of what one knows, or understanding), and rhetoric (ways of giving meaning to, applying, and expressing what one knows and understands, or wisdom) within the curriculum, CHS students receive and achieve more than a collection of information – they are equipped with skills that will make them lifetime learners.

Through its classical Christ-centered curriculum, CHS seeks to equip every student to fulfill his/her God-given potential in all subjects, to develop critical thinking skills within each student through didactic instruction and Socratic dialogue, and to teach each student to communicate eloquently, persuasively, and effectively.  Because of our fundamental desire to integrate faith and learning, CHS teachers are free to evaluate and adapt curriculum materials so that they accurately express God’s truth.  In doing so, teachers seek to inspire biblical scholarship and independent thinking in their students, with the ultimate goal of interpreting the subject matter in the light of a biblical worldview.
