How do you ensure the quality and accreditation of the programs offered?

CHI vets the university partners, ensuring proper accreditation as well as alignment with biblical, trinitarian apostolic, and orthodox teaching.

What kind of support services are available for students, such as counseling or academic advising?

Students are fully enrolled in the partner university, so any of their academic advising, counseling, or other resources available from the school are available to CHI students. Halls that want more robust support for their students need to build that into their programming.

How does Christian Halls integrate faith into the educational experience?

The Tutor’s role is to connect course content with big questions about meaning, purpose, and God’s design.

What opportunities are there for extracurricular activities and social engagement?

Extracurriculars are not part of the program. However, unlike most online programs, students are part of a cohort that interacts regularly through the tutorials.

Students receive grades and other assessments through the university partners. Students are responsible for reporting this information to their secondary school in order to receive dual credit.

What are the career prospects for graduates of Christian Halls programs?

This will vary depending on the program. Students who complete an accredited degree program enjoy opportunities commensurate with traditional students from these programs. Vocational training is a key aspect of this, however, the ultimate goal is to prepare individuals for life both in this world and in the world to come, nurturing them within their families and faith communities to worship God and interact with the world according to divine design and commands.

How flexible is the program in terms of scheduling and course selection?

This varies from school to school and also by program. GenEd courses tend to have more offerings while individual programs tend to be more rigid in terms of scheduling and course availability.

What safety measures are in place on campus and during off-site activities?

Background checks and ratios of three are mandatory - If a Tutor and student need to meet outside of class, their parent, another Tutor, or the Director will be present.

Is CHI part of any specific denominational or confessional traditions?

No, however, Christian Halls is firmly positioned within the long tradition of biblical, apostolic, and orthodox thought, and seeks to serve those families and communities who hold to biblical, trinitarian, and orthodox Christianity.

Can students mix and match from different schools and programs?

In theory yes, but if the student is pursuing a degree program, courses from other schools and programs may not apply towards the degree.
