Mature, Godly leadership is a lifestyle and not isolated to the classroom or within the walls of education. At Chapel Hill Academy we train students to apply leadership skills to all areas of their lives. This includes the athletic arena.

It is our privilege to offer an athletic program at Chapel Hill Academy that is committed to training athletes both spiritually and physically. The goal of our athletic program is to train our children to glorify God as Christian athletes. We desire to glorify God through words and actions in all situations faced.

To assist in reaching our spiritual goal, a character building curriculum titled G.L.O.R.I.F.Y. (Godly Lessons On Reflecting Integrity For Youth) is implemented by each coach. This curriculum uses real life stories to teach our athletes about character traits that will help in glorifying God in all areas of their lives. The goals of our G.L.O.R.I.F.Y. curriculum are clear: to train Godly character in student athletes, to remind coaches and parents of Christian character from the sidelines and to prepare our athletes to be witnesses in our league by showing excellent sportsmanship and positive Christian conduct.

CHA’s athletic program relies on wonderful staff and parent volunteers to challenge students physically by teaching them age-appropriate skills for the sport in which they are participating as well as a work ethic that is pleasing to Christ.

Soccer, volleyball, basketball and track & field are offered for students in grades 4-8. We encourage you to click on the links below to discover more about our program. CHA Athletics is an exciting part of the school, and we encourage our parents to get involved through volunteering and registering their students.

Please email Jessica Santjer, our Athletic Director, with any questions regarding our Athletic Program. 

 

What Our Families Say:

Chapel Hill Academy has served our three sons with excellent education for a total of 12 consecutive years. At CHA our boys experienced unwavering excellence: every year, every class, every specialist (music/art/Spanish/PE) is outstanding!

and two CHA graduates

What Our Families Say:

Chapel Hill Academy is a wonderful school for kids of all types. I have 3 children at Chapel Hill, and each has had an opportunity to thrive in different areas, sports, theatre, and academics.
– Kristen, Eden Prairie resident and CHA mom to three CHA students

What Our Families Say:

It is obvious when we meet for conferences that the teachers really know our kids and care not only about academics but how they are developing as “little people.” One of the reasons we chose Chapel Hill is the small class size. We have seen with fewer kids in the classroom, our children get the one-on-one attention needed to know they are important.
– Aaron, Eden Prairie resident and CHA dad to two CHA students

What Our Families Say:

We have five children enrolled at Chapel Hill Academy and we are incredibly thankful for the fantastic education, the spiritual training, and the overall commitment to excellence shown by the leaders of the school.
– Bob and Jennie, Eden Prairie parents to five CHA students

What Our Families Say:

CHA has definitely impacted my walk with God. I attended this school [from] K-8th grade and was so blessed to be a part of it. My foundations in Christ that I learned from Chapel Hill have made a difference in my high school years. [They have] kept me grounded in my faith and led me through some tough times.
– Faith, a CHA Alumna attending Southwest Christian High School

What Our Families Say:

Our sons' high school successes prove that their CHA educations prepared them well for AP & IB classes in high school. Our oldest son now excels as an Engineering Student in his second year at a large university - due to being anchored in the quality academics, disciplined study habits, quality athletics and spiritual training he received from CHA. We are so grateful for their Christian education from CHA!

What Our Families Say:

Thanks for all you do at CHA. My daughter told me today she doesn't just like Kindergarten a lot, she likes it a TON! I'm so glad we decided on CHA!
– Carla, a current CHA parent from Eden Prairie

What Our Families Say:

We consider it an honor, privilege and blessing to have our children being nourished at Chapel Hill Academy with the truth, by teachers and staff sold out for Jesus. Praise God!
– Nate and Amber, CHA parents from Minnetonka

What Our Families Say:

Chapel Hill is a school that not only teaches my kids academically and spiritually, but focuses on building character, not just behavior. Any time my children have been corrected for a certain behavior, they also take the opportunity to help each child grow through it. They don't just get scolded, but they show grace and love in the process, leading them to wanting to correct the behavior, as apposed to feeling like they have to. That is invaluable!!
– Kristen, Eden Prairie resident and CHA mom to three CHA students

What Our Families Say:

My son is thoroughly enjoying Kindergarten! He loves his teacher and prays for her every night. We are so happy!
– Lara, a CHA mom from Eden Prairie

What Our Families Say:

My son is loving the Specialty classes! ... Mr. Zink is making it so fun, that he comes home singing whole songs. Also,...he now wakes up excited about PE days, and when he comes home, he's excited to teach us his exercises and the fun games he learns from Mr. Becker. ...plus, I was so blessed one day when Mrs. Sweeney took the time to specifically tell me in the hallway that she's enjoying my son in her [art] class. . .talk about kind!
– Monica, a CHA mom from Chanhassen

What Our Families Say:

I really enjoyed the teachers at CHA along with their love for the Lord and their students. Chapel Hill's outstanding education prepared me for high school in so many ways and helped me transition smoothly into a new environment. Even in a small school, CHA offers so many activities to be involved in, including music, art and sports.
– Faith, a CHA Alumna attending Southwest Christian High School

What Our Families Say:

. . .Your school does a marvelous job of teaching the students the importance of both remembering and respecting those who have fought for the freedom we all enjoy. And for me, most importantly the freedom to worship God without fear of recrimination from our leaders! Thank you!
– Denny Laufenburger, Chanhassen City Council Member

– Regina,a CHA mom from Savage

Chapel Hill really helped me grow in my faith as a young kid. . .Thank you for your hard work building a strong base of faith in my life when I was a student at CHA. It made a huge impact in the man I have become.
– A CHA graduate now attending South Dakota State University

What Our Families Say:

Just wanted to pass along a story about Kate... I know what happened has a lot to do with the sound Biblical training she has been receiving at CHA. This afternoon, I overheard Kate talking to her neighbor friend... She was asking her if she was a Christian, and she said yes. Then Kate asked her, "But have you ever asked Jesus in your heart?" And her friend said no...So Kate led her in a prayer to receive Jesus, and her friend prayed as well and asked Jesus into her heart!
– Kristine, a CHA mom from Edina

What Our Families Say:

Another aspect of Chapel Hill that has impacted my life is the community it offers. It was a blessing to be part of such a great middle school that kept me grounded in the Lord, and I don't know where I would be without it.
– Faith, a CHA Alumna attending Southwest Christian High School

What Our Families Say:

We are so thrilled with Chapel Hill. The first week when our daughter came home (after having been in a public school for two years), she said, "Mom, it feels so different here. You don't feel the yukky stuff." And our other daughter walks around the house quoting Scripture and setting it to her own music! We love it! We are so blessed to be a part of the CHA family.
– A CHA family who transferred from an area charter school

What Our Families Say:

Just a word of thanks to you and the entire Chapel Hill family. I often meet people in and around the community who express great appreciation for the education and environment that CHA is providing to their children and families. You represent a great asset to the community of Chanhassen. Thanks!
