CHA Took Over BizTown !
Our CHA 4th -8th Grade Students journeyed to BizTown to test out the knowledge and skills that they have been acquiring in the Classroom over the past few weeks. They didn't come alone. Many brought a parent along who went to early morning training and then spent the day assisting with running Biztown!
It was a remarkable experience for student and parent alike.

BizTown Parent's Training

Dana Glasser shared that, " Today was an unbelievable experience as I got to see how our students worked together as a group, as a team, all caring about each other and helping each other. I was impressed with how well CHA had prepared them for their tasks at BizTown. I was touched by the generosity shown by our students in their donations. The Director of BizTown shared with me that many schools do not make donations and he was impressed by how giving our students were."
BizTown Bank

What impressed Debbie Grannick was the practical applications that each student would be able use from the day."BizTown kept our kids extremely busy! They were involved with everything from running a Television Station, to Managing a Bank, to working at Sea World! One thing our students learned today was how to be more than consumers...they learned the other side of business and that was a great experience!"

Some of our students were journalists and published a newspaper while they were at BizTown. Here is an article from their newspaper.

First Grade Siddur Party
In a poignant and meaningful ceremony 1st grade parents presented each of their children with their very own first siddur. Parents put in tremendous effort to mark this special milestone in their childs life, spending countless hours, decorating each siddur and inscribing deeply personal dedications to celebrate this day. The first graders showcased their passion and knowledge of Judaism and the beginning of making a personal spiritual connection through song and prayer.

The first grade parents arranged a beautiful brunch following the ceremony.
Thank you to all of the teachers, parents and students for making this a day to be remembered for years to come.

A High Quality Education Guaranteed!

For the second year in a row, CHA Assessment results overwhelming prove that our students are excelling in Academics. Using multiple tools of measurement, we are able to clearly dimension student performance levels in all subjects. Many of our measurement standards are actually above those of public schools simply because we tailor them to our own student levels which typically run higher due to specialized teaching staff, low ratios and a focus on the success of each child.

Consistently strong rates of growth are found in all grade levels. Our mid-year results continue to run approximately 1 full year ahead of local public schools.

Our current midyear Academics are far above the End of Year Expected results for top of the district schools such as Jerabek Elementary and Carmel Valley. we have used the same assessment criteria and methodology as the PUSD and SDUSD to ensure that our comparisons are meaningful and useful tools of measurement.
