Field Trips

Field trips will be conducted in relationship to specific learning objectives directly related to classroom learning activities. Most field trips will occur during the school day. These trips will use transportation approved by the Administrator (usually Chestnut Mountain Church buses). Some trips may need volunteer parents to assist. On special occasions, a field trip will be approved to include before/after school hours.

Special Programs and Assemblies

From time to time special speakers, films or programs of significant spiritual, academic, or cultural value will be presented. Parents are invited and encouraged to attend these programs.

Chapel

Chapel is an integral part of Christian education. Chestnut Mountain Christian Academy holds a school-wide chapel once a week for 30 minutes. School staff, Chestnut Mountain Church Ministerial staff and guest speakers will lead these throughout the year.
