Philosophy on Education
CHA, a ministry of Bella Vista Baptist Church, functions from a Christ-centered
view of education. Our entire program begins with the Word of God and a
Biblical point of view. We believe God is truth, His Word is truth, and we ought
to worship Him in truth. (John 14:6, 4:24, II Timothy 2:15) Our belief directs
our practice in all areas of life. We believe that each faculty, administrator, and
staff member must know Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and his/her life
should be evident of a daily relationship with Him. Psalm 126:3 states that
children are an heritage of the Lord; we believe parents are commanded by
God to train their children according to His Word. CHA is an extension of the
church and home operating to assist in the training of children in this manner.
Therefore, there is a need for each child to be instructed in their
need of Jesus Christ as their personal Savior as well. The scope of our training
includes: academic, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual, beginning
with the knowledge, understanding and wisdom of the Lord. Our academic part
of this overall experience is to prepare the children to be conformed to His
image and to be soldiers of Jesus Christ, prepared to do His will with their life.
Accreditation
We are not accredited by any governing association or governing board. Our chief administrator is the pastor of Bella Vista Baptist Church. We are seeking to please God in the education of His children. We do not seek accreditation by anyone but Him. CHA does not intend to seek a charter from the State
Department of Education, but stands on its right to religious freedom in the education of its children. It is the position of some Christian schools that the state philosophy of education as it is now enunciated is humanistic, and
therefore Christian schools must decline to submit to the
state's demands. CHA stands in agreement with these schools and with
the U.S. Supreme Court, which has defined humanism as a religion.
(Incidentally, if the Bible, the basis of our government, cannot be taught
in the state school, most certainly humanism should not be.)
Accreditation of a private school is not necessary for a graduate
of that school to enroll in most colleges or universities. We meet or
exceed all of the state of New Mexico’s requirements for education. Our
students take standardized tests each year to monitor their progress.
Every student in the 1st through the 11th
grade takes the IOWA assessment test in the Spring. We also make
information available about the ACT test for those upperclassmen that are
interested in taking this test.

Admissions Policy
We admit students of any race, color, ethnic or national origin. We extend to
every student all the privileges, programs, and activities that are generally
afforded any student of our school. Attendance at our school is a privilege not
a right. Students must comply with the rules of our school to maintain their
privileges. We reserve the right to refuse admission, suspend, or expel from
our school any student who does not meet the policies, rules, and guidelines of
our school. We are not a reform school. School records from previous schools
must reflect good behavior and sound academics. Any student seeking
admission or currently enrolled in our school must meet the following criteria:
1.The Principal, teacher, and secretary will conduct an interview with the
prospective student and at least one parent or guardian of that child before admission to Christian Heritage Academy.
2. The child’s parents or guardians must be committed to involvement in their
child’s education.
3. The child’s parents or guardians must be planning, in good faith, to pay
tuition in a timely manner.
4. The parents or guardians and the prospective student must read all forms
for enrollment, agree to all terms, rules, guidelines, and agree to support the
regulations of the school.
5. The parents must agree to support the principles and standards of conduct
of the school beyond the school campus in the interest of keeping a good
testimony among the families and student body of our school.
Therefore, we do not admit students who have been involved in sexual
misconduct of any kind, who have been a father or mother, who live alone,
who are involved in tobacco use, alcohol use, drug use, or rebellion toward
authority, and who have tattoos or body piercing. We do not admit student
who do not desire to attend our school.
Enrollment Policy
Registration of a student is not finalized until the following matters
Have been completed and returned to the school office:
1. An interview with Principal and invitation to enroll the child.
2. Application forms completed by parents.
3. Request of transcript form (new students). We must have parent's
permission in order for the former school to release a student's transcripts
to CHA.
4. Medical/Current immunization records and Emergency form.
5. Discipline/Cooperation agreement form signed.
6. Application fee paid-one time per family of $25.
7. Registration fee paid-yearly, per student of $75.

Enrollment Policy (Continued)
Again, all admissions packet forms must be on file in our office in order to be officially registered. Your student will have a place officially reserved for them at this time. Kindergarten students must be 5 years of age by September 1. First grade prospects must be able to pass a reading test administered by our staff.
Emergency Policy
The admissions packet contact numbers are the method for notifying you in
case of any emergency regarding your child. You must notify us if there are any
changes in these numbers. We will notify parents or guardians of any illness,
injury, or incident that is significant. If no parents or guardians are available,
we will do what we believe to be in the best interest of the child’s welfare.
Medication Policy
Law requires that all medication be stored in the school office. A dated note
from the parent must be sent to the office in order to register any medicine in
writing with the school office. No medication, prescription or otherwise, may be
taken on the school campus without the knowledge of the school staff. All
correspondence concerning student medication must be updated each year.
Tardiness Policy to School
Any tardy student must report immediately to the school office.
The secretary will issue a pass for the student to attend class.
1. A student is considered tardy to school if he is not in his classroom by 8:30AM. Each set of five tardies to school for any reason received during a
semester will result in a one-day suspension within three days following the fifth tardy.
Tardiness must be accompanied by a note or phone call of
explanation from the parents on the same day. If no note of
explanation is given on the same day, a 30 minute detention will be
given.
Child Pick-up Policy
Parental consent for child pick-up is in the admissions packet. This list
represents the only people who have permission to pick your child up from
school. Please inform the office of any changes throughout the year. You may
only add names to the list in writing. People not on the list may not pick up any
child without written permission. If the parent’s intend to add an authorized
person to the pick-up list, a phone call will be accepted until written permission
is received in the office. Students who are not enrolled
at Christian Heritage Academy are not authorized to come and wait for parent
pick-up.
Snow Day Policy
Weather related delays or cancellations will be announced separately on the
three local television stations, on channels 4, 7, and 13, no later than 6:30 a.m.
Our weather related (i.e. road conditions) delays or cancellation schedule
will be exactly what Albuquerque Public Schools City) announces. We do not
follow non-weather related delays or closures by APS. Listen for the APS

call or text to notify school office no later than 8:00 a.m. when a student
will be absent, however, a written note will be required when students
return to class. Failure to bring a written note will result in the student
receiving a 10-minute detention. If a student has been ill for an extended
period, (Four school days or more) the student must present a written
excuse from a physician to the teacher for re -admission to class. Students
exceeding 14 absences per semester may be put on probation and subject
to expulsion, re-enrollment may be denied for upcoming year. This is not
an entitlement to a given number of absences. This is a legal limit.
Students will not receive permission for early dismissal on a regular basis.
Parents or guardians needing to pick up their child early must sign them out
at the school office which will count as a half-day absence.
Personal Day Policy
A student may miss a total of five days per semester for personal reasons.
Parent or guardian must call or text to notify school office no later than
8:00 a.m. Personal days are intended only for certain family-related
activities allowing parents and students family time together. These are not
permitted for students merely to shop, work, vacation, etc. alone or with
friends. A personal day is counted as a one day of excused absence and all
class work missed must be made up within the allotted time. Students must
not take a personal day and remain on the property unless they are
accompanied by their adult parents. Each personal day is counted as a day
of absence. Students will be charged with a full personal day even if only a
part of the day is taken. Personal days may not be used during the last ten
school days of each semester, Tournaments, Conferences (BVBC students
only), or during the week of Iowa testing. Students may take a personal day
and still participate in extra-curricular activities after school.

strongly encouraged to follow CHA on the social media sites that the school
uses including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram. Parents are
expected to know what sites their children are using. Ungodly or unbiblical
sites are prohibited.
Discipline and Correction Policy
CHA's goal for establishing its disciplinary system is:
1. To provide an orderly environment for academic learning
2. To teach the student to bring order to his life/self-control
We want our young people to learn self-discipline through Biblical
training and loving correction. The Bible is very clear that parents and
authorities are to train children to be godly and have good character. We do not want to punish anyone, but we are willing to correct a young person who has showed a lack of self-discipline. We correct our students with a system of
