Praise God with me that He continues to bless CHESS (Colorado Heritage Education School System)! God has faithfully caused us to be a beacon of light for Christian education when most other schools have succumbed to and promote the dangerous and rebellious thinking of the prevailing ungodly society.
As I ponder the benefits of CHESS - our dedicated and gifted staff, teachers, and board - I am once again in awe of God's great goodness to us. We are a solid Christian school through whom God has been pleased to bless hundreds of students in our 31 years of existence. CHESS is an educational institution and environment where God’s Glory is upheld, where students are encouraged in their walk with the Lord, challenged to live for Him, and exhorted to be a light and a witness.
Colorado Heritage leadership steadfastly encourages the antithesis: i.e., being in the world, but not of the world. Our leadership and teachers recognize the perilous ways and motivations of ungodly thinking - past and present. We not only teach our students to think counter-culturally, but we also strive to be a good example to them in our dedication to not walk in the counsel of the wicked (Psalm 1).
When the Scriptures command parents to teach their children about God “when they rise up and when they sit down and when they walk by the way” (Deut. 6:7), CHESS recognizes and takes seriously that families have entrusted their children to us as an outworking of obedience to that command.
Psalm 1 strictly warns those who are tempted to think and live as the ungodly. The way of the ungodly is deadly, leading to spiritual ruin. Ungodly thinking in all areas of life is unabashedly encouraged and promoted in most schools. CHESS, however, assents to the warnings in Psalm 1 as well as to the blessings of obedience expressed in the same Psalm. Our instruction, services, and events are all thoughtfully developed to bring Glory to God as well as to set forth a clear path toward righteousness for our students.
For over three decades, Colorado Heritage has stood apart from other schools in our Judeo-Christian convictions and endeavors. Going forward, CHESS is determined to keep a firm hand on the rudder - maintaining a straight course through the constantly changing and turbulent waters of society, and steadfastly disregarding the siren calls of "attractive" conformity.
We are so thankful for our CHESS families and students! You are why we are here. We love to serve God by serving you. We pray for you often.
Do you have friends who have joined the worthy ranks of homeschooling? Are they looking for a school where their children will be pointed to our Savior and exhorted to live in the world, but not of the world? We would love to meet them and be a blessing to them. - Principal Brown
