There are lots of ways we can share our CHCA experience with friends and families. (1) invite them to our upcoming Open House on 02/24/18 from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (2) like CHCA on Facebook and give us a great review! (3) give us great reviews on other sites such as Google and Niche. (4) refer someone you think would be a great fit for CHCA. Because you referred them, we waive the application fee if they choose to apply. If they enroll a student and list you as their referral at time of enrollment, you receive a $500 tuition credit on your '18-'19 tuition bill! Learn more on our shareCHCA page.
