Fine Arts
Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy has participated in the Cincinnati chapter of the Cappies program for high school theatre since the 2003/2004 school year. CHCA received the "Best Orchestra" award for both the 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 school years, along with many nominations in other categories. The school's Orchestra also played for the Cincinnati Cappies Awards Ceremony in 2006/2007, and in the following year, played Tchaikovsky's original score of his ballet, The Sleeping Princess. This ballet however, was modified so that the school's 'EJO' or Electric Jazz Orchestra, could also take part in it, with a Jazz-inspired second act. The 'EJO" has also traveled nationally and internationally, including trips to Puerto Rico and Kenya for a humanitarian tour.

Famous quotes related to fine arts:
“The animal merely makes a bed, which he warms with his body, in a sheltered place; but man, having discovered fire, boxes up some air in a spacious apartment, and warms that.... Thus he goes a step or two beyond instinct, and saves a little time for the fine arts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
