Your Family's Journey Starts Here

Searching for the right school can feel overwhelming. You want an environment where your child can truly thrive, but for Christian parents, the perfect fit isn't just about academics. It's about finding a place where Biblical truth, loving community, and academic excellence meet.

We have guided hundreds of families through this important decision, and are committed to helping you walk through this important life transition successfully, and to discover if Christian Heritage Academy is where your child belongs.

The first step is to see CHA in action.

Considering a school change?

Switching schools can feel risky. Will my little one adapt well? Will my middle schooler connect with new friends? How will they handle new routines and expectations?

These concerns are completely natural.

We've helped countless families navigate this transition successfully. Some families come from public schools seeking stronger spiritual foundations. Others come from a homeschool environment, looking for more support and social connection. Whatever brings you here, we're committed to ensuring your student’s transition is smooth and successful.

How We Support Successful Transitions:

  • We are committed to helping you walk through this important life transition successfully, and with as little hassle and stress as possible. Our CHA office staff can quickly schedule necessary academic testing that may be needed.
  • In addition, we offer “shadow days” for potential students and parents, where the students get to experience being in classes together with the rest of the CHA students. We typically assist with this process by placing your student with a “hand-picked” CHA student to be their personal friend and guide throughout their day.

Your Pathway Forward

Application Process & Requirements

From inquiry to first day, our admissions process is intended to help you determine whether CHA and your family are a good fit. Our wonderful CHA office staff will assist you and walk through the application process with you.

Tuition & Financial Aid

Christian education is an investment in your child, but with Florida’s School Choice and our CHA Scholarship program, it is much more accessible and affordable than ever! Consult with the CHA school office if you need to explore our needs-based financial aid program.

Campus Visits

Visiting Christian Heritage is the very best way to see and experience what it’s like to be part of the Crusader community.

Questions Every Parent Asks

We consider both academic readiness and whether our environment provides the right conditions for your child's success. After assessment and family interview, we typically provide decisions within a one to seven day window. Our goal is to ensure every enrolled family feels confident that their child will thrive here.

Yes, our Extended Care program extends the supportive environment beyond school hours through supervised homework time, structured activities, and play.

We provide need-based assistance because financial barriers shouldn't prevent families from accessing an environment where their children can succeed. Contact our admissions team to discuss your situation confidentially.

See What Families Are Saying: Real Stories, Real Impact

We have been blessed to be back at Morning Star Academy. It was just like seeing family after a long time. My daughter was so excited to return. She is getting one-on-one learning. All of our concerns we had in public school are gone. The classrooms are smaller and more fixed on each child.
Primary School Parent
My son has been attending Morning Star Academy for a little over a year, and I could not be more pleased with the growth he has experienced while attending. He wakes up every day excited to go see his friends and all the teachers. The environment is loving and caring. They treat all of the children as if they were their own.
Toddler Parent
We have absolutely loved the curriculum and structure at Morning Star. The hands-on interactive learning is our favorite. We are so thankful for the Christian program.
Pre-K Parent
My child has a speech delay and has possible Autism, we were nervous about him entering school because of his learning differences. Our worries were instantly gone as soon as he started because of how understanding his teacher and all of the staff at Morning Star were. They challenge him but are also accommodating to the different challenges he has. We are grateful for the constant communication so we can work on the things he struggles with in the classroom at home. We could not be more excited or proud of the things he has already achieved since starting Morning Star. We are so thankful for all the staff who love and support him.
Transition Parent
Morning Star Academy is an amazing school. All the staff members are professional and friendly. You can feel they genuinely care about your children and family. My kids have attended since they were six months old and they love it! It’s a huge relief as a mom to know that your children are safe at school and love to wake up every morning to be there. The fact the education is Bible based is a very important aspect that my husband I truly appreciate about this school.
