Cherry Hills Christian School

What Cherry Hills Christian School does

Cherry Hills Christian School is a private, non-profit Christian day school operating since 1985 at 3900 Grace Boulevard in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. The school serves approximately ages 2 through 14 across four grade-level programs — Preschool, Kindergarten, Lower School (Grades 1-5), and Middle School (Grades 6-8) — under a Christ-centered curriculum with the stated mission of preparing students to "Think Biblically, Live Faithfully, Lead Courageously." The institution is governed by a Board of Education and shares its campus with Cherry Hills Community Church, including an integrated Director of Security role covering both entities.

The school's product surface extends beyond core academics to include Before & After School Care, an integrated Technology curriculum, Middle School Athletics (football, volleyball, cross country, golf, tennis, basketball, track, soccer), Visual Arts and Performing Arts programs, semester-based Co-Curricular Clubs, and a Spiritual Growth program featuring weekly Chapel, Scripture memory, and international missions trips. Health and safety services include a School Resource Officer, Campus Security Specialist, full-time nursing, counseling, and CPR/First Aid/AED certified staff. Technology is limited to standard educational tooling — Google Analytics, Google Calendar, iCalendar, and Outlook integrations — with no proprietary platform, no public APIs, and no developer-facing infrastructure.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition across the four grade-level programs, supplemented by voluntary donations through the school's Giving program. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: families inquire, tour, and apply through the school's admissions website and staff, with no resellers or intermediaries. The school reports 52 employees and operates from a single Highlands Ranch campus, with no disclosed geographic expansion, no subsidiaries, no parent company, and no venture capital or private equity ownership structure.

Direct peers

• Front Range Christian School: Private Christian K-12 school in Littleton, CO, serving the same south Denver metro faith-based family demographic as CHC with comparable academics, athletics, and spiritual formation. Operates a similar tuition-driven model and competes directly for Highlands Ranch-area families.
• Holy Trinity Catholic School: Faith-based K-8 Catholic school in the Denver metro offering similar before/after care, athletics, and spiritual formation to CHC families. Comparable tuition-driven model and grade coverage, though denominational distinction.
• Faith Christian Academy: Faith-based K-12 private school in Arvada, CO offering Christ-centered education, athletics, and arts programs. Comparable tuition-based business model and target audience of Christian families in the Denver metro area.

Regional players

• Loveland Classical Schools: Northern Colorado K-12 private school blending classical and Christian education with athletics and arts. Comparable tuition-funded model and faith-inflected curriculum but operating in a different geographic market than CHC.
• Colorado Springs Christian Schools: Faith-based K-12 private school system in Colorado Springs serving the same Christ-centered demographic with comparable academics, arts, and athletics. Regional rather than direct overlap since it serves a different metro, but functionally similar product.
• Valor Christian High School: Christ-centered high school in Highlands Ranch on the same Grace Boulevard corridor as CHC. Functions as a strategic feeder/partner rather than a direct K-8 competitor, but its existence defines the high school pathway CHC families typically pursue.
• The Classical Academy: Large K-12 charter school in Colorado Springs with a classical, faith-friendly orientation and broad athletics/arts programming. Competes for value-driven private-school-considering families in Colorado, but operates outside the Denver metro.

Broad incumbents

• Denver Christian Schools: Larger established K-12 Christian school system in Lakewood, CO with multiple campuses and broader programming than CHC. Overlaps directly on faith-based K-8 instruction but offers a wider portfolio including a high school and broader extracurricular ecosystem.
• Seton Catholic Schools: Network of Catholic K-8 schools across the Denver metro targeting families seeking faith-based education. Comparable early-childhood through middle-school grade coverage and tuition-driven model, though denominational differences distinguish it from CHC.
• Primrose Schools: National franchise network of private early childhood education schools offering preschool and before/after care comparable to CHC's youngest grade bands. Overlaps on the preschool/childcare product but lacks CHC's K-8 academic scope and faith-based positioning.
