AT CANYON HEIGHTS ACADEMY, WE ASPIRE TO A HIGHER CALLING

We believe that a complete education must address the formation of both the student’s mind and character through a gradual, intentional learning process that seeks to encourage students to reach their highest potential in an environment that fosters self-advocacy and community-building. We live our motto of Semper Altius (Latin for “always higher”) in all aspects of our community.

Faith That
Lasts a
Lifetime

“Canyon Heights was the cornerstone for my life’s journey, as a young student and now as an adult. When I came to CHA during middle school, I felt like I was given just the right environment to blossom as a human being, in such a crucial time in my life. I still look back on my time at CHA and remember how the school, the staff, and the loving community really touched my life and my heart.”
