Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy is a private, PK2 – Grade 12, college preparatory, non-denominational Christian school located on four campuses in Cincinnati, Ohio. Three of its campuses (Edyth B. Lindner Campus, Founders' Campus, and Martha S. Lindner Campus) are located in northern Cincinnati, in Sycamore Township and Symmes Township, near the intersection of Interstate 71 and Interstate 275. The Otto Armleder Memorial Education Center is located in downtown Cincinnati.
The school is home to over 800 families from 140 church affiliations throughout Greater Cincinnati.
The school was founded, in large part by Cincinnati businessman Carl Lindner, Jr., in 1989 on a 25-acre (100,000 m2) plot of land. In its first year, it enrolled 165 students in pre-kindergarten through seventh grade. It has since expanded to an Early Learning Program for PK2-PK4, a Lower School for grades KPrep – 6, and the city's only Christ-centered six-year college prep upper school experience for grades 7–12. The downtown campus is home to students preschool age 3 – Grade 6. CHCA has an enrollment of 1300 students in 2017.
The construction of the Edyth B. Lindner Elementary School adjacent to the original campus building took place in 1992. This elementary school originally housed preschool through Grade 3. This campus is now home to the Blake Lindner Thompson Early Childhood Learning Center for preschool students ages 2–4, and the Lower School Grades KPrep – 3.
This original CHCA campus building is now home to CHCA's Lower School Grades 4–6 Upper Elementary Program, as well as Upper School Grades 7–8, the early years of CHCA's six-year college prep experience.
In 2001, this high school was constructed on a nearby 20-acre (81,000 m2) plot of land. In 2008, a $3 million addition to the high school began. It was completed in January 2009. In 2016–2017, the school was expanded once more to include innovation labs and collaboration spaces. It is home to world-class programming and spaces, and to CHCA's Upper School students Grades 9–12.
