Christian Heritage School is a kindergarten through 12th grade private preparatory school that was founded in Trumbull, Connecticut in 1977. A nondenominational Christian school, it enrolls about 550 students. The elementary and high schools share a building. There are separate wings for elementary, middles, and high schools.
The school's mission is "(1) to assist parents in fulfilling their God-given responsibility to teach their children that 'In Christ are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge'(Col. 2:3) and (2) to provide its students with an education of spiritual and academic excellence with which to serve God."
All students attending Christian Heritage are required to pass the Bible class corresponding to their grade level, and attendance of weekly chapel services is also mandatory. Science, history, literature, and mathematics are also mandatory classes.
The school was overseen by one headmaster, June Vangor, who was serving as an interim headmaster after the resignation of the previous headmaster, Barry Giller. Both the upper school and lower school have separate principals, Bruce Stempien and Alan Hayes respectively. The school's founder, Pastor Anderson, died the morning of October 21, 2007. The current headmaster is Brian Modarelli.

“My Christian friends, in bonds of love, whose hearts in sweetest union join,
Your friendship’s like a drawing band, yet we must take the parting hand.
Your company’s sweet, your union dear; Your words delightful to my ear,
Yet when I see that we must part, You draw like cords around my heart.”
—John Blain (18th century)
“There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man’s life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“The difference between de jure and de facto segregation is the difference open, forthright bigotry and the shamefaced kind that works through unwritten agreements between real estate dealers, school officials, and local politicians.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
