Christian Heritage Academy (CHA) is a private Christian school located in Del City, Oklahoma, United States. Established in 1972, CHA instructs its students in an American Christian philosophy of education through the Principle Approach methodology. Enrollment includes students from grades Pre-Kindergarten through twelve. The students are residents of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. There is also a "Christian Heritage Academy" located in Northfield, Illinois.
CHA's mission statement is as follows: The purpose of Christian Heritage Academy is to assist the home and church in building a solid foundation in the life of each student--a life which is characterized by a personal salvation experience, the development of Christian character, the Christian conscience and Christian self-government. The ultimate goal of the Academy is to produce true Christian scholars who will be used of God to propagate the Gospel to the whole world and to restore our American Christian Republic to its historic, Biblical foundation.
CHA's curriculum is based on the Principle Approach developed by Verna M. Hall and Rosalie Slater". This approach to education states that "the pinnacle of classical education was reached in [the United States of America]...two centuries ago". The Principle Approach concept of "Providential History" maintains that "God commands us to make nations Christian" nations, that only "Providential history is true history" as taught by the Principle Approach, and that "the failure to teach Providential history has led to the secularization of America".
The mascot of the Christian Heritage Academy is the Crusader. The school colors are red, white and blue.
According to the CHA Standard of Conduct, each student is expected to honor the agreement both in school and out of school. "The school, therefore, expects each student to maintain Christian standards of courtesy, kindness, morality, and honesty. The school further requires each student to refrain from profanity, indecent language, gambling, cheating, sexual immorality, stealing, the use of any type of tobacco, drugs, alcohol, and pornographic materials, and from participation in unlawful, violent, or destructive acts." The Standard of Conduct agreement "should be understood that this is a joint agreement between the school, the parent, and the student. It should be obvious to the parent that the school will enforce these standards. It should also be obvious to the school that the parent enforces these standards while the student is associated with CHA during the school term and the summer".
