The school is approved by the Tennessee Department of Education as a Category One private school. Class periods last 70 minutes. Students enroll at and attend CHS voluntarily. The emphasis is on respect rather than power and conformity. Within the community, students, faculty, parents and guardians actively support the holistic recovery of each individual.
Individualization encourages and motivates students to enjoy learning.
Realizing the power of community service in a young person s life, CHS includes individual and group volunteer experience in its wellness program. We believe that a partnership of students, their parents, and other adults provides a solid foundation for positive change. We believe that by understanding and appreciating their own learning styles, all students have potential for academic success. We believe that students can best sustain their own recovery when properly educated about their addictions. We believe that students are best able to feel empowered, have a sense of belonging, and achieve personal success in a relationship-based community.
