CHA is a great school. It saved our son's life. He now has goals, dreams, and a future. He was on a self-destructive path to nowhere. The CHA "family" cares about our son and his future. He will graduate in May of 2012 and could not be more proud of what he has achieved. We have seen him grow from a kid who didn't care about anything but going out with his friends to a young man who is a leader, is accoutable and responsible. He is wonderful to be around now and we could not be more proud. Chamberlain-Hunt IS the answer.
Our son just graduated from CHA in May 2011. He came to CHA in January 2010, as an immature 16 year old, and has graduated an 18 year old young man. Attending CHA was a life changing experience for him, just what we were looking for. He grew in his relationship with God, finally understands that actions have consequences, and began making the grades he always should have, nothing less than a 3.75. The one on one attention and mentoring by the cadre is a wonderful part of the experience. My son knows there are people at CHA that truly care about him and are pulling for them. He knows he can reach out to them even though he has now graduated and they will be there for him. He has a full time job this summer and is starting college in August. He has accomplished things at this point in his life, that two years ago we did not know if he ever would. Thank God for CHA and God Bless all the faculty and staff there.
My son graduated from CHA in May 2011. It was an amazing turn around for him. He came there in August 2010 a 17 year old boy with no confidence and no friends. He graduated with a 3.8 gpa and now is a 18 old man with a great attitude on life. I truly believe CHA saved my sons life. The teachers and all the staff are wonderful people. This school is a great place to send your children. Thank You
We are happy with CHA. Our son has been there for over a year. This is the best that he has ever done in academics. After talking to some of the cadets, I found myself referring to them as young men. That was refreshing. They were also quite fun-loving! If possible, try to visit at the end of the school year in May and hear the speeches of the seniors. Then you will become very excited about the vision, culture and results of CHA. We are truly impressed with our son s increased focus when studying and how much he has matured. We are very happy with CHA and would encourage others to look into it to see if it may be the right fit for their son.
Chamberlain-Hunt is an excellent school with Christian values. The have a 130+ year tradition how to handle boys. Most of the teachers have Masters degrees. I would say most are superior teachers who really care about the students and try to help them. It's a very nurturing environment. The military component of the program really helps to develop your son. Unlike most private schools, C-H has a committment not to turn away boys for financial need. I'm very grateful for the support C-H has given my son and family--I could not afford to pay all the tuition. My son is a high school graduate thanks to Chamberlain-Hunt.
Chamberlain-Hunt Academy has been the best gift I have ever or will ever give to my son. He was not wid about the idea of going to begin with but he feel into the routine and began to set goals for himself. His self esteem grew by leaps and bounds and his grades have been better than they have ever been. His life has been touched by the caring staff and has learned that "actions have consequences". HE has decided he wants to graduate from CHA and that choice pleases me greatly.
I sent my son to CHA for the 09-10 school year. He needed discipline which he got and needed to improve his academics which he did. What I did not like was the fact that he was in fights with other students nearly every week and this seemed to be permitted by the Tac officers while not condoned by the rest of the staff. I was hoping that my son would learn learn christian morals when in fact he came home with a filthy mouth and a total disregard for anything moral. I believe that the administration is either oblivious to what goes on behind the scenes or they turn a blind eye to it. They have very good intentions but they need to get a handle on what goes on in the off hours.
Chamberlain-Hunt is a great school and the faculty and administration are extremely dedicated. As a small school, it has advantages and disadvantage. Could use more extra-curricular activities such as a football team and rifle drill team, but the small ratio more than makes up for it. Your son will improve in grades and attitude if you send him here.
This is a good boarding school and it's the only was to do it. Local girls can attend for daytime only. They have a healthy control over the school there. It's worth checking out!!!
I think the school is excellent for the right type of boy. The staff is good with the students and academic improvement and maturity seem immediate, Thay need to improve by fostering more school spirit and outlets by bringing back Football. These guys need to compete against each other anyway, so let em go play some one else and have a little social belonging.
