Cottage Hill is a great place to work. My co-workers demonstrate servant leadership on a daily basis. Because we're a small school, we have to depend on each other and wear many different hats. We're a team and get the job done! The students are fantastic. Easily the best part of the job. They're caring, thoughtful, funny, and smart. It is a pleasure to be in the classroom. Since I spend little time on classroom management, I can spend the vast majority of my time actually teaching. It is a great and godly atmosphere to send your kids.

From the first second my husband and I walked on the campus of CHCA we felt this overwhelming sense of it just feeling "right" and where we needed to be. Our daughter started kindergarten at CHCA this year and we couldn't be happier. The teachers, staff and students have all been so kind, loving and helpful. I have never in my life seen a school campus that has such loving staff and students. They teach children to do the right thing and how to be the best version of themselves. They are very big on personal responsibility, too. I love this place and I cannot recommend it enough. If i weren't afraid of heights I would shout it from the rooftop.

I attended Cottage Hill for 14 years, from K4- 12th grade. If I could have attended CHCA for college, I would have. I made lifetime friendships with students, teachers and faculty. I consider myself blessed that my parents made it possible for me to attend Cottage Hill and I would recommend it to everyone looking for a school for their children to attend.

We have been involved with CHCA for over 30 years. First as a student and now as parents, we couldn't be happier with the quality of Christian education our children have received.

My family has been a part of CHCA for the last 10 years. We feel very blessed that our children attend a school that challenges them to do their best in academics, and in their Christian faith. We believe our investment in our children's education is a stepping stone to a successful journey in life and CHCA has been a strong, committed partner that strives to bring out the best in every student.

We moved here before my son's 9th grade year. The teachers and staff are very compassionate and genuinely interested in your child. It is small, but because of that, it has a small student to teacher ratio. I would recommend the school to anyone that might be considering a private christian school as an option.

Eight years ago we were transferred to Mobile. We had a horrible time with our 1st grade daughter in the public school we are zoned for. The Lord brought us to Cottage Hill Christian School the week before Thanksgiving 2004. We have been thankful ever since. The school family opened their arms and hearts to my daughter and our family. I went on to serve 4 years on the Parent Teacher Fellowship board. I would do anything for CHCA! There is no other school I would send my child! God is present at Cottage Hill Christian Academy and it is evident as soon as you step on to either campus! God bless CHCA!!

Cottage Hill has been a great home for my kids. All staff are caring and attentive to the students. I value the extra curricular classes that are offered all the way down to K2. My daughter is 2 and this is her first experience outside of the home. My son is in kindergarten and has been here for 3 years.

We are a new family to Cottage Hill this year, as an incoming middle school family. When we toured the school we knew this was where our daughter would attend. We have been pleased with the education she is receiving as well as the extracurricular activities and friends she has made.

We have been involved with CHCA for over eight years. It has been an incredible blessing for our family. Having Christ centered education was the only choice for us and we are very pleased. We have two children that a very different from one another and both their needs are completely met!

We have 3 children currently enrolled in CHCA and could not be happier with the level of academic education they are getting and even more importantly, the level of biblical education they are getting. CHCA gives my children the foundation they will need to become productive Christian citizens in their future lives. We could not be happier.

What a blessing CHCA has been to my family. My two children were so well prepared for college after attending CHCA from K through high school. Now I am blessed again to have 2 grandchildren at CHCA.
