Chatsworth Hills Academy's mission is to fulfill each child's intellectual, social and physical potential in a positive, supportive environment.

Early Childhood (Ages 2 1/2 -5)

To be eligible for enrollment in Chatsworth Hills Academy's Early Childhood Center, your child must be at least 2 1/2 years old and have independent skills when using the bathroom. A student application along with an accompanying fee of $25 for Beginners and Intermediate, and $75 for Pre-Kingergarten is required. Individual family tours of our Beginners and Pre-Kindergarten programs are conducted by appointment only. Throughout the year we will continue to enroll children in our Early Childhood Center as long as there is space available.

Lower School and Middle School (Kindergarten - Grade 8)

Admission to Chatsworth Hills Academy requires evidence of sound academic ability and strong character. The Admission Committee is impressed by the examples of independence, maturity and concern for others, in addition to achievement in school work and activities.

This attention to character allows CHA to create a community of individuals in each grade who will work together for one another's benefit through their years to graduation in Grade 8. The school also seeks to broaden each student's experience by establishing a student body that is culturally and socio-economically diverse. In addition, Chatsworth Hills Academy values family involvement in school activities.

While not guaranteed admission, siblings are given extra consideration in the admission process.  Admission candidates from families that have other children currently enrolled at CHA should complete the application no later than January 15, 2008 in order to qualify for the Sibling Early Decision Program. 

The following steps guarantee that your son or daughter’s application receives full consideration
