Academics

As a hybrid model of education, CHESS offers families the flexibility to choose how they partner with us according to their educational and financial needs.

As Christ followers, we believe all learning is for the purpose of knowing God better and making Him known to a world in need, and yet we believe disciples are developed through doing. Passionate Discipleship is taught and modeled in an authentic community through various relationships.

The Chess Model of Education

The Core Value of Contagious Learning supports the CHESS model of education. CHESS Christian School provides direct instruction to the students on Core and Elective days. CHESS teachers assign relevant homework to provide students with a depth of knowledge not possible through in-class work alone. Completion of these assignments is integral to success in each class. Parental involvement in their student’s education will further the discipleship process as parents assist their students with homework, clarify confusing concepts, or answer questions. This can help parents identify their student’s strengths and opportunities for growth.

Parent Partnership

Partnering with CHESS gives families access to collaborative learning environments guided by academic expertise, challenge, and structure, in a community passionate about helping students discover and express their unique learning styles. At the same time, we also strongly believe that it is parents who are under the biblical commandment to train and nurture their children and who are ultimately responsible for overseeing the educational journeys of their children. The partnership that results at CHESS requires a significant commitment by both parents and students, which must be clearly understood and embraced in order for students to thrive.

Educational Options

At CHESS, families have the flexibility to enroll as a homeschool student or a private school student, according to their educational needs.

At CHESS, our commitment to education and discipleship is deeply rooted in the principles of the Bible and enriched by insights gleaned from select books that have significantly influenced our perspective. The following books have shaped our approach to education, communication, emotional health, hard work, and the development of a biblical worldview. While we recognize that not all the content within the referenced books aligns completely with Christian beliefs, we embrace the opportunity to extract valuable insights that contribute to the holistic growth of our educational community.

We invite all members of our educational community to actively engage with the Playbook, as it serves as a guide for personal and collective growth. While not all content may align completely with our Christian beliefs, we encourage discernment in extracting valuable lessons that contribute to a well-rounded and informed approach to education and discipleship. Together, let us strive for excellence, embodying the principles outlined in the Playbook as we navigate the journey of learning and personal development.
