Welcome. Bienvenidos. Willkommen. Salvete. 欢迎. Bienvenue. ようこそ. Salve. Добро пожаловать!
Hospitality, engagement, and mutual enrichment - these words capture the heart of CHCA’s vision for our International Student Program and its impact for both national and international students. In 2007, we welcomed three Korean students who wished to complete high school in the United States. International students are now an intentional and vital part of life and community at the Upper School. Home to one of the largest programs in our region and hosting students from 25+ countries, CHCA continues to strive for a strong cross-cultural program with students from around the globe.

Theater
Be the star of the show, work behind the scenes, or learn technical skills with lighting and sound.
Grow food from seeds in our state of the art hydroponic greenhouse. Lead in our student-run agri-business where CHCA greenhouse produce is sold directly to consumers on the Eagle Farms website.
For two weeks each year, grade 9-12 students travel the globe. Hands-on learning on nearly every continent takes knowledge from classroom walls to historical, scientific, and awe-inspiring sites around the world.
Most international students deepen their experience by living with a local host family. There you experience the nuances of American culture through shared meals, family time, and daily life.
