The mission of CHCS is to inspire all our children to the highest levels of academic achievement through a rigorous curriculum that integrates the wonders of the natural world. Our goal is for our students to cultivate the capacity to achieve a meaningful, healthy, flourishing life that embodies responsibility, stewardship, and experiential engagement with the arts, agriculture, and the environment in informed, imaginative, and rigorous ways. CHCS features a hands-on, thematic instructional approach that uses the school’s unique rural surroundings as a framework in which students learn, and positions agricultural, environmental, and artistic themes as lenses through which the Georgia Performance Standards and Core Common State Standards can be achieved.
