History Meets Opportunity
Located on Tyler’s historic Dixie School campus, Christian Heritage School (CHS) has been serving East Texas families since 1980. Since CHS is a ministry of the international missions movement of Youth With A Mission(YWAM), both the teaching staff and the families represented in our school represent many nations. Ours is a learning setting of unity with diversity. We are also enriched by seasoned teachers who generously invest in the next generation of students and teachers in a setting that promotes Christian faith and character while promoting academic excellence.
Student Life
I FIRST CAME TO CHS AT THE END OF LAST SCHOOL YEAR TO ATTEND A TALENT SHOW. ONCE I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, I FELT AT HOME.
~ BEN
Christian Heritage is unique in that it is a K-12 school on one campus. Each student is known and celebrated first by God and then by their teachers. The great English author John Milton stated, “That the end of all learning is to know God and out of that knowledge to love and imitate Him.”
In addition to CHS, there are two adult missionary training schools that hold classes on our campus- Teachers for the Nations and the School of the Bible. The interns in our Teachers for the Nations school bring our teacher trainees directly into the classroom to learn from and assist the classroom teachers. The School of the Bible and Teachers for the Nations students often serve as coaches or discipleship group leaders for our high school students. The passion of these missionaries-in-training enriches the discipleship emphasis in the student life of our CHS students.
Success Stories
Campus Safety
When parents entrust to us the sacred duty of teaching their children, we are committed to make the safety of our students a priority. When students feel safe, they are able to learn.
“Christian Heritage was one of the very first schools in the East Texas area to take a proactive approach towards the safety of their students and staff. Over the last few years, they have worked diligently to invest physically, mentally and spiritually towards the goal of securing the campus to the best of their ability . As a professional in the training industry, I am pleased with their progress they have made and the willingness to continue along this path.”

Small Community
Our small school community is optimal to providing a safe setting for learning. The low student/teacher ratio allows students to know their teachers and to be known. Our size enables the school to partner effectively with parents in the training and discipleship of their children.
Education
A leading idea that we teach is that God is Providence. He is our protector and provider. This is not simply a theory, but it is lived out in the lives of the missionary teachers and staff at CHS.
“I started at Christian Heritage School in the Reading Class. I have consistently felt my teacher’s love for God, their love for learning, and their love for me. They have shown me how to love God and to see Him through education. This is so valuable to me.” – Mary S. CHS Graduate
